In this episode, I interview Raphael De Ry, Founder of @edgar, a zero-waste and bulk grocery store in Hong Kong. We had a great conversation about the rise of bulk grocery shopping in Hong Kong and how COVID has actually benefitted zero-waste stores like Edgar due to demands for more product traceability. Learn more Edgar’s products and find tips to live more sustainably on their website: www.edgar.hk

Here is a summary of our conversation:

- Beginnings of Edgar – from popup to a bulk grocery store

- Working with global and local product suppliers
- Offsetting Edgar’s carbon footprint by buying carbon credit
- COVID’s silver lining: the increased demand for product traceability
- Is the recycling logo on packaging actually manufacturers’ transfer of responsibility to the consumers?
- Should the carrot or stick approach be used in recycling schemes?
- The range of eco-consulting related inquiries
