Ethical Shopping Platforms

The problem this focus solves is search. Sustainable producers in Portugal are small, scattered and rarely findable through the channels most people shop in, so someone has to gather them under one roof, physical or online.

Maria Granel is the clearest example listed here: Portugal's first bulk organic grocery, opened in Lisbon in 2015, which functions as a shelf for dozens of small producers who would otherwise have nowhere to be seen.

Beyond it, the catalogue you are reading is trying to do the same job for projects rather than products. If you run a platform of this kind, we would like to list it. See also zero waste living and conscious consumption. Dated activities from these projects are listed in our events calendar.
