It's completely normal: tear open the package, use the contents, throw the packaging away. We don't even think about it anymore because this behavior has become so normal over decades. In complete darkness, we investigate our own behavior. We feel materials, smell food, and listen carefully. Anyone who knows markets in France, Spain, Italy, but also in Morocco knows what sensual pleasure is. In comparison, German supermarkets just seem dead!

Discover the behind the scenes with some dehydrated skins, syrups, etc.

why a zero waste Xmas Market
The Zero Waste Xmas Market is more than just a shopping destination—it is an initiative of the Zero Waste Berlin Festival dedicated to transforming how we celebrate the holiday season. Our mission is to inspire a more sustainable approach to festivities, emphasizing support for local businesses that share our commitment to environmental responsibility.
We recognize that not everyone is fully zero waste at this stage, and that’s perfectly acceptable. Our market is inclusive, welcoming companies that are on their journey toward zero waste, whether they have made significant progress or adopting eco-friendly practices. Our goal is to create an inviting environment for those dedicated to reducing waste and making thoughtful choices for the planet.
However, the Zero Waste Xmas Market is about more than just shopping. It serves as a platform for building connections, fostering learning, and cultivating a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about sustainability. Join us in celebrating a holiday season that prioritizes joy, connection, and a positive impact on both our community and the environment.
