We have all heard of the zero-waste movement; or how to live an environment-friendly lifestyle.
From the reusable tote bags to the bee-wax fabric as wrappers,
the DIYs to reduce your general waste are many.
And even here in our little Mauritius, you could see many people coming up with their creations for those who wanted to follow that sustainable lifestyle. The only little black dot?
Packaging.
How could you adopt a zero-waste lifestyle when all your groceries come in unnecessary plastic packages that have no other purpose than be dumped once it enters your house?
There's was no possible way to be fully zero-waste... Until now.
Because nestled in the buzzing city of Curepipe,
a little paradise for Eco-friendly humans has open it's doors.
A little look of french cafe, a mix of fresh-tropical and warm-rustic vibes;
this place is a bohemian's dream come true.

More than just your average grocery store, here you can shop responsibly while sipping a delicious cup of coffee.
With the cafe on one side of the store and all their products surrounding you, almost blending together with the decor, Le marchand offer a shopping experience unique to its own in Mauritius.
The variety of products that you can get from this store is surprising, from nuts to flour or even shampoo and body wash; plastic packages have some troubles coming their way.
No plastic involved, no harm done.
This place definitely makes us reconsider the amount of plastic that we use in our daily life
and how unnecessary all these packaging really are.
At Le Marchand, all of their packaging are fully reusable. From glass bottles to jars or even the tin containers of our childhood; every item is weighted and sold in reusable containers that you could bring another time for further use.
You know what that means? Grab your jute tote bag, some sustainable shopping is waiting for us!
