摘要

Imagine a grocery store where not one item is pre-packaged. Cardboard boxes? Gone. Plastic bags? Nonexistent. No, this isn't a hypothetical scenario. Zero waste and package-free grocery stores, where customers bring in their own reusable containers or bags to buy in bulk or per ounce, are becoming an alternative to shops offering packaged merchandise. Just ask Phil Bratty, who co-owns Simply Bulk Market in Longmont, Colo., about 20 miles outside of Boulder, with his wife, Georgia.
