The Mobile Package-Free Shop:  Fair-Well in London

Fair-Well in London is out to make package-free shopping much easier. Three years ago, the two friends purchased a 1970s electric “milk float,” a milk van that they converted into a home delivery shop of bulk organic comestibles and staples, such as compostable cling wrap and coconut dog shampoo bars. Charlie roves London making scheduled stops and spreading the word about mindful ways to consume.

Fair-Well co-founder, Claire, and team member Jo, polish Charlie, a vintage, 100-percent electric “milk float.

Charlie is fitted with a wide range of food and household staples, including rice, oats, pasta, quinoa, beans, cereal, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, oils, vinegar, herbs, tea, and coffee, as well as beauty and household products (linseed floor cleaner, anyone?).

The company refills customers’ own containers of all sorts, and doesn’t offer backup options.
