Consumers in Hong Kong are becoming more eco-conscious, and there is an increasing number of retail options for those who wish to eschew plastic and reduce their carbon footprint.
If you despair of shopping at the supermarket and the plastic waste that often ends up in recycling, you can find several places where you can take your own containers and shop for bulk dry food, including oats, cereals, nuts and seeds, grains, and herbs and spices. You can also bulk buy beauty products, including body and dental care products and eco-friendly cleaning products. You can additionally stock up on reusable items, including food wraps, flasks, and coffee filters.
Other zero-waste items you can find in Hong Kong include bamboo kitchen rolls, sugarcane drinking straws, compostable food containers and cling film, solid shampoos, and biodegradable rubbish bags.
Want to take things a step further and grow your own produce? Then shop at an online platform to pick up organic okra, red pepper, lettuce, and leek seeds. If you don’t have much space, consider a few herbs and make your dinner taste extra special. You can find Hong Kong online retailers stocking items like sage, basil, and peppermint seeds if you want to cultivate your own herb garden.
