New Online Supermarket Delivers Only in Jars

The new online supermarket “GerneOhne” aims to provide an alternative way to buy food: zero waste and conveniently from home is the motto. Customers throughout Germany have the opportunity to order plastic-free packaged food online directly to their door.

The food is delivered in reusable jars. These are returned to “GerneOhne” after use and, after thorough cleaning, are reintroduced into the innovative glass reusable system, which is free of charge for customers, the company explains.

The assortment consists exclusively of organic products, it adds. “GerneOhne” was launched by three friends: Michael Sixl, Eduardo Castaneda, and Sergey Gladyshev. Driven by a concern for the environment, a shared fascination with new technologies, and the hope of using them for the good of the planet, the three founders implement all aspects of the store themselves, from packaging to customer service.
