Plastic free stores are popping up all over London and one of LOTI’s locals is Re:Store, set up by Megan Adams, who herself made a resolution to use less plastic. Located in Hackney Downs Studios with no single-use packaging on site, you can bring your own containers or buy some in the shop, and fill up on wholefoods, nuts & seeds, herbs & spices, tea, coffee, oils, vinegars and household cleaning products. As well as working with local suppliers like Mission (coffee beans roasted in Clapton) and Ombra pasta (from Bethnal Green), the store also stocks a range of lifestyle products like Elephant Box food containers, Chilly’s water bottles and Georganics dental items. Tupperwares at the ready.
