Unpackaged Retailing
Catherine Conway believed that there was a better way to sell food. Her opinion was that most of the products sold today have excess packaging that’s not only unnecessary, but also detrimental to the environment. In late 2006, she did something about it. The result was the store in London called Unpackaged - said to be the first permanent store there to sell produce without packaging.
