Perfection in imperfection
"aiyo, use this kind of packaging? Not zero waste leh"
For those who bought online from us, you will notice different types of packaging. Some were donated to us, some were leftovers from our previous shops.
When we were packing parcels, we thought a lot.
Are we really doing zero waste? It's a parcel, we use tape, we use courier bags, we use this and that. Does this mean we are not really practising zero waste? Should we just stop using? Or should we even stop selling at all. Should we use only paper? No plastic at all? If didn't use plastic at all, if the parcel is wet, how? If the item inside is damaged how? Etc etc etc.....
We took a few years to really think thoroughly and still unable to figure it out.
Now, we just leave the thinking part to our customers. We will just use whichever packaging that we think is okay for us and for sustainability. It's imperfect and never can satisfy everyone. But it's perfect for us.

不完美中的完美
“哎哟，用这种包装？不是零浪费leh”
对于那些从我们网上购买的人，您会注意到不同类型的包装。有些是捐赠给我们的，有些是我们以前商店剩下的。
当我们包包裹的时候，我们会想很多。
我们真的做到了零浪费吗？这是一个包裹，我们用胶带，我们用快递袋，我们用这个那个。这是否意味着我们并没有真正践行零浪费？我们应该停止使用吗？或者我们甚至应该停止销售吗？我们应该只使用纸张吗？根本不用塑料吗？如果根本没有使用塑料，如果包裹湿了怎么办？如果里面的物品损坏了怎么办？等等等等等等......
我们花了几年时间认真思考，但仍然无法找到一个“完美”的方案。
现在，我们把思考的部分留给我们的客户。我们只会使用我们认为适合我们和可持续发展的包装。它是不完美的，永远无法让所有人满意。但这对我们来说是完美的。
