Bepakt was a knowledge base on zero-waste grocery stores — built mainly by Rutger Muller, Guus Rietbergen and Giulia Saladino. It’s now an archive.
Our Index of Zero-Waste Shops gives a chronological overview of the market’s expansion its first 12 years: 2007-2019.

We published two research papers:
- Giulia Saladino’s MA Thesis, 2018, Utrecht University
- Donatienne Ista’s MA Thesis, 2019, Maastricht University
Thanks go out to the dozens of passionate people who contributed and/or supported us. Too many to mention, sorry!
