Unpackaged

Unpackaged was founded in 2006 by Catherine Conway in the belief that there is a better way to sell products, so our customers can do the right thing – for themselves and for the environment.

Catherine set up Unpackaged because she wanted to refill her groceries using her own containers. The dream was to set up a beautiful shop that made it really easy for customers to come & refill all their daily essentials. We started in November 2006 on a market stall & the shop opened a year later in November 2007.

Alongside our shop, we also work with other businesses, large and small, to help them go ‘Unpackaged’.

Have a look at our press here.

Press Highlights:

• Two lovely videos from CNN & Reuters which show off our beautiful shop.
• Features in many different types of publications from national newspapers to industry, design & consumer magazines – The Grocer, Which Magazine, The Independent, Style Will Save Us
• Time Out recently voted us the #48th best shop in London
• Catherine was voted #32 in the Observer Food Monthly Top 40 Eco Heroes.
• Unpackaged was included in Time Out’s ‘Little Black Book’ of the 500 most essential services in London
