Because we see - today more than ever - how important the zero waste trend is, we have decided to make a good resolution and stick to it (for real this time): stop wasting. To encourage us in this direction, here is Boc's, a new place that should help us persevere in this eco momentum. We've tried it, and we've adopted it.

On October 2nd, the Balard street saw a charming little boutique appear; a bulk grocery store called Boc's, with an ultra-design look and 100% ethical values. But in truth, the story goes back several years when Anne-Laure and Marie, both sensitive to environmental issues, became friends in Nantes. Although their paths diverged, they eventually reunited in Paris with an idea in mind: to create a temple of zero waste, offering both food and cosmetic products, which are unfortunately still rare to find. "In the neighborhood, we couldn't find the perfect store that met all the right criteria like local, organic, and packaging-free products. So we decided to open it ourselves!" they tell us with a super sunny mood. Judging by the flow of customers in the store, it seems that they are not the only ones satisfied; yes, in such a short time.emps, the grocery store has already gained ground... a true meeting place where people can exchange and compost! Here, the goal is as precise as it is precious: to educate individuals about zero waste, at always affordable prices. "Buying ethically often costs a lot, but here we don't want to create an elitist business... the aim is to spread these values to as many people as possible," explains Anne-Laure. That's why the two friends offer multiple ranges for each product, always ensuring the origin and quality through direct work with suppliers. In glass jars, you can pick up soft wheat pasta, Thai rice, all kinds of cereals, and even super delicious chocolate.Magic spell that can be transformed into a spread right before our eyes. Special mention to the rebellious jams, made with off-grid ingredients for a deliciously anti-waste result. At the back of the store, the cosmetics; laundry detergent, shampoos, and other care products are also sold in bulk. The real plus: Anne-Laure and Marie know their products like the back of their hands, they can give us perfect advice and remind us that we can all easily take action for our planet!
