Sustainable Shopping

Let’s make one thing clear: you’re already doing great. You’re outdoors, staying active, and ready to give the regional economy a boost— but if you’re going to do it, do it right. You’ll enjoy your purchase more when you know it’s made completely guilt-free, with attention to people and the environment. Here, you will discover the most beautiful handmade items, the most conscious entrepreneurs, and local markets.

Between the beautiful Central Pharmacy in Art Nouveau style and the old Bonifatius Church, there is a small hidden alley. Here you will find the organic supermarket Ekoplaza. Ekoplaza focuses on themes such as organic dynamic farming, fair trade production, conscious packaging choices, and vital living. “In daily life, you constantly have to make choices. By choosing well together, we change the world every day. Plate by plate, cart by cart, basket by basket. Fortunately, you don’t have to do it alone. We provide food from growers and farmers we know personally; you pay a fair price for food that has been treated well. Not too much, but also not too little. Together, we work towards a food chain that makes sense. Organic? Yes, of course. But especially local, personally selected by us, sustainably transported, and packaged with as little plastic as possible. You can hold us to that. Because that better world will only come if we do it together.”

While in the supermarket you can sometimes feel a bit overwhelmed—because let’s face it, it can be quite a lot: the people, the radio, the busyness at the self-checkout, loud advertisements, and shelves full of chips and cola—the aisles in Ekoplaza are spacious, there’s no music playing, and you don’t have to scan anything yourself. This makes it not only a conscious choice but also a pleasant shopping experience.
