Almata: lovely neighbourhood store with advanced sustainable principles in Brussels

Almata has the relaxed, convenient atmosphere of a neighbourhood store, located in the charming district of St. Gillis in Brussels. But what makes us like this food store even more is it advanced approach to sustainability, an example for many.

Almata works with five criteria. You’ll find organic products, harvested in a respectful way to humans and the environment. They also aim to source products as local as possible, this way boosting the local economy as well as minimizing transport. Almata favors small producers and aims to eliminate intermediaries, as to offer fair prices and direct contact. And as a fifth criteria they adopted a minimum waste philosophy, with plenty of zero waste options.

For a store of its size, Almata has a huge variety of products, from the waste-free bulk options such as grains and dried fruits, to fresh fruits and vegetables, cosmetics, household products, drinks and more. A store that would fit and be beneficial to have in every neighbourhood.
