Don't store avocado like this: it's dangerousIt is located in via Trento e Trieste 114, in Biassono, in the province of Monza and Brianza, the first eco-friendly supermarket under the "U2" brand of the Unes group, the chain of points of sale dedicated to fast everyday shopping.
Inside the brand new shop inaugurated today, the shopping baskets are obtained from the recovery of 120.000 plastic caps, the trolleys from recycling of 25.000 PET bottles, the dividers of the refrigerated counters have been made with beyond 6.000 plastic bottles, while the dividing bars at the checkout, which divide the cost of customers, are obtained recovering various plastic materials.
But that's not all, because the supermarket is also equipped with a detail lighting system, which makes it possible to optimize the use of electricity in the various departments.
The supermarket chain Unes has announced that this will only be the first of many green outlets that will arise in the area in the next few years: an opportunity to meet the needs of a clientele increasingly sensitive to eco-sustainability issues, but also a way to create - by the company - a lower environmental impact and in the long run a considerable economic saving.The new point of sale in fact will reduce packaging by selling bulk products (thus reducing packaging and transport costs), will only sell biodegradable bags, will propose cloth shopping bags and will use low consumption light bulbs in addition to marketing fair trade products.
