Karma Markt

Kar­ma­markt is a zero-was­te shop in the cen­tre of Bru­ges which Isa­be­lle, the owner, foun­ded to ful­fill 5 core values: health, sus­tai­na­bi­lity, rela­xa­tion, mee­ting, edu­ca­tion. The idea here is that you buy dry foods without pac­ka­ging by brin­ging your own jars in with you. This is both bet­ter for the pla­net and your wallet! All you need is some reusa­ble con­tai­ners which you can bring with you, or are avai­la­ble to buy there. 

Kar­ma Markt stocks everything you need in your pantry from rice and eggs to oils and nuts, and even bees­wax wraps. The foods are all orga­nic and local when pos­si­ble. Isa­be­lle is very intent on sup­por­ting local busi­ness becau­se it’s bet­ter for the pla­net and often chea­per! The local sup­pliers tend to deli­ver their pro­ducts them­sel­ves which Isa­be­lle is very proud of. This also redu­ces the need for loads of pac­ka­ging which is something we really res­pect here at COSH!. If you pre­fer to use natu­ral beauty pro­ducts without the plas­tic pac­ka­ging then brow­se the broad selec­tion of sham­poo bars, solid tooth­pas­tes and so much more. Embra­ce the zero-was­te phi­lo­sophy and say goodb­ye to sin­gle-use plas­tics at Karmamarkt! 

Isa­be­lle has also set up a cosy reading nook which is the per­fect pla­ce to spend a few hours rela­xing and lear­ning about zero-was­te living or just enjo­ying a good book. If you’re lucky there’ll be a fresh pastry in the frid­ge for you to devour… Isa­be­lle also hosts a ran­ge of events in her spa­ce such as yoga or self-care workshops. 

Make sure to pick up some deli­cious local food from Kar­ma­markt next time you’re in town!
