Shop Without Packaging Celebrates two years

October 7, 2022

SWOP is coming up to our second birthday and while it’s been an amazing 2 years, it hasn’t come without its struggles. We’ve faced lockdowns, shipping delays, and supply issues. 

We had not so many visitors to town because of travel restrictions and at times staff shortages due to illness, but you showed us just how supportive our local community is. 

You never gave up on shopping with us despite some very empty bins at times, delays on many of your staple ingredients and you were willing to take on board our suggestions and substitutes. 

Already this year we have managed to divert over 756 dish liquid bottles, 400 olive oil bottles, 248 plastic deodorants, and 131 toothpaste tubes out of landfill by refilling and using what we already have. 

The support we feel from our local community will never be taken for granted and with a busy and exciting summer just round the corner for us here in Raglan, we can’t wait to bring you new and innovative packaging-free products, adding to our ever-growing snack range and to expanding on the great range we currently have in store. 

We love hearing suggestions on what you would like us to add to our range; some of our most popular products have come from customer requests. If you haven’t visited us before, come and see our friendly staff who can assist you with your shop without packaging experience. 

We look forward to welcoming you.
