EasyVrac promotes widespread participation in the circular economy in French-speaking Switzerland by simplifying customer access to their neighborhood, bulk grocery stores. There is a real opportunity for many actors to work together to create an interlinked system that promotes a planet-friendly, waste-free lifestyle. By educating and supporting people who want to reduce the environmental impact of their basic food and household purchases, we can help to grow the community engaged in ecological transition. We provide solutions including waste-management consulting workshops and one-on-one consultation. Our business model is one that upholds and reinforces existing and future players already working to eliminate waste and pollution within the local economy plus the introduction of sustainable container management through a deposit return network. Customers receive and store food and household goods in washable, reusable containers, which are then returned to be reused, thereby eliminating packaging waste. EasyVrac helps to foster bulk grocery stores and their products via a multifunctional online tool that allows customers to place orders and partner stores to manage their stocks. A local IT team in Lausanne strongly committed to environmental work has designed the application and is supporting the EasyVrac team through the early stages of development. EasyVrac fulfills customers’ orders and delivers them to home, workplace, or collection points by cargo bike or public transport. Through geolocalization of stores, orders, and delivery locations, we can optimize logistics. EasyVrac’s application also allows customers to become delivery ambassadors who become part of the logistics solution; they can choose to deliver to other people located within their perimeter. EasyVrac. Making bulk buying easy and practical for everyone.
