26: Episode 26: The rise of the zero-waste supermarket
Take a bite: For episode 26, Editor-in-chief of Esquire Singapore Norman Tan and podcast host Anita Kapoor come together with Emily Kirk, Store Operation Manager of Scoop Wholefoods in Singapore, to find out more about this Australian zero-waste bulk food grocery chain.
Scoop Wholefoods, which was founded in 2012 by Emily's parents Jeremy and Bettina Kirk, operates on two defined missions—to improve people's health and well-being, and to safeguard our planet for future generations.
Before closing, the podcasters played a game on famous quotes by women. Play along and see if you know who said what!
00:00—Introduction
Our hosts Anita Kapoor (speaker and TV personality) and Norman Tan (editor-in-chief of Esquire Singapore) share what they've been up to since the last podcast.
2:47—"Coffee Catch Up"
Having just come back from a seven-day retreat in Phuket, Thailand, Anita shares her experience discovering herself as an 'instructor', and how she learnt that her authentic voice is good enough.
Norman recounts the Schloßing (Schloß is the German term for a mansion) good time he had in Munich, for his bosses Michael and Bettina's 25th wedding anniversary celebrations.
15:22—"Fresh off the grill"
Feature segment with a new guest each podcast.
Emily starts the segment off by telling us how her parents started on their journey of health foods and sustainability. Having lived for a while in Europe, the family was used to the culture of going to the market and picking up exactly what they needed, where everything was weighed.
That, and being able to support local businesses and knowing exactly where those produce was coming from, formed the basis behind the mission of Scoop Wholefoods.
Scoop Wholefoods started as a small store in Mosman, a suburb in Australia. 7 years and 5 other Australia outlets later, Scoop Wholefoods has opened their first store outside of the country in Singapore.
The 4,400 sq ft outlet located at Tanglin Mall opened in May this year.
The podcasters discuss the benefits of fats and fermented foods in your diet, the importance and impact of going zero-waste, Singapore's reception to Scoop Wholefoods, and whether consumers can actually impact sustainability.
54:37—"Last call of the day"
To close the show, Anita and Emily test their knowledge on 10 famous quotes from iconic females in history.
