*[Enwl-eng] New Video: Solving Plastic

[enwl]

                                Introducing the second season of our latest 
series, Solving Plastic! We're kicking off round two with a trip to Chile, 
where Algramo is making zero-waste shopping accessible to people in middle- 
and lower-income neighborhoods by using vending machines to refill 
containers. This company is seeking to solve the “poverty tax” faced by 
low-income families that cannot buy in bulk as smaller packages can be up to 
40% more expensive due to logistical inefficiencies, marketing, and 
packaging.



                                Because the containers are reused, the 
product costs substantially less than if a new one were purchased. People 
also choose the quantities of product they wish to buy, hence the name, 
which means "by the gram" in English. Algramo’s vending machines sell 
products like rice, lentils, beans, and chickpeas as well as cleaning 
supplies through dispensers and specially designed reusable containers.


                                Is there a plastic solution in your 
community that you'd like us to profile? Shoot us an email at 
info at storyofstuff.org and they may get added to our list!

                                In solidarity always,



                                Sage
