Amsterdam supermarkets and shops for a sustainable world

Toxins used, e-numbers, unnecessary plastic packaging, animal suffering, unfair wages. When you think about it, there is quite a bit of misery in your innocent shopping cart. Or lag, because stores large and small are making a change in this. Hurrah! Although the big stores really do their best, there are small fighters who go the extra mile. And set an example for what we can do in the future. These Amsterdam supermarkets and shops are committed to a sustainable world.

Vegan Fresco

Vegan Fresco

This newcomer is the first 100% vegan and plant-based supermarket of the Netherlands. Full of food and drinks that are completely plant-based. Nice for vegans who don't have to first check whether they can buy a product. Nice also for non-vegans who can see that the choice is huge and very tasty. And nice for everyone more variety can be found in vegan brands from home and abroad.

Little Plant Pantry

Little Plant Pantry

We think it is one of the nicest shops in Amsterdam Little Plant Pantry. They focus on minimum waste. They do this by purchasing in bulk packaging and then you can with your own packaging come shopping. In addition, they are also plant-based and organic. Food, drinks, fermented goods, herbs, reusable packaging and care products. At the back of the store they have a small food corner and one created by the fans of the store Outdoor where you can enjoy the goodies from the shop. When you visit, it is as if you - from the hectic and sometimes harshness of the city - step into another world of calm and kindness.

True Price

True Price

One of the emerging trends in sustainability land is true pricing. Something we have been ignoring for too long is the real price of the products we consume. What are the hidden costs for the environment and people. True Price has therefore set up the first supermarket with this true pricing. Due to corona, this movement is a little different than planned, for example the own True Price store is currently closed. You will find it The Start in de Pijp – which was already a nice store – the true pricing of fair price of products back on the receipt. And so you see, for example, that bananas would normally be €2,79, but after taking into account underpayment, land and water consumption and climate tax, the True Price should be €2,94. And the intention is for this true pricing to move to multiple stores.
