How to buy plastic-free sausage & cheese

Buy plastic free sausage and cheese

The plastic free shopping is becoming a little easier with each new day. Manufacturers & markets are adapting to people's new consumer awareness. The Zero Waste Lifestyle has arrived in society. Yogurt in a glass jar and dispensing with plastic bags at the checkout are part of this and a good start. But even today, sausage and cheese are where you're most likely to run up against your creative limits.

As already described above, however, grandma & grandpa provide the solution to this problem. Earlier the two are namely with a bread box brought to the next market to have food such as sausage and cheese filled there without plastic. Plastic-free, because there is simply no plastic. Plastic gave. So in the future just take your Stainless steel lunch box with you - for example, in your backpack - and have slices of cheese and sausage cut off and packed in them.

The basic procedure

This is how the plastic-free purchase of sausage and cheese ideally proceeds step by step:

  1. Bring your own sealable container
  2. Let the salesperson know at the counter
  3. Place open container on a tray provided
  4. Seller fills in sausage or cheese
  5. You take the can without touching the tray and you're done!

The principle sounds pretty simple, doesn't it? But in fact, it was a real hurdle for a long time. Now, fortunately, it works this way at more and more stores.

And where can you buy sausage & cheese plastic-free?

Not every Supermarket and not every store offers the service of filling sausage and cheese without plastic at the counter. Hygienic reasons are often cited for this - many supermarkets do not even have a fresh food counter. But since the offer is met with great enthusiasm by customers, you will find more and more suppliers in the future who also offer plastic-free products. Avoid plastic waste would like. Because the implementation on site is relatively simple: It only needs a tray so that the sales staff behind the counter do not come into contact with your lunch box. Then it is also harmless from a hygienic point of view. Suggest it in your market if you can't yet buy plastic-free sausage and cheese there. And then, of course, there's the butcher next door, who is certainly a bit more flexible than a large supermarket chain.

If you want to be on the safe side, you have with Organic markets mit Theke sicherlich die besten Chancen für dein Vorhaben. 🙂

Also the Classic weekly market is recommended of course! You can also find it in many smaller towns and usually cheese and sausage is offered at the fresh counter. If you want to buy a Delicatessen around the corner, it also offers you a very good opportunity to get food without plastic.

The best places to go (with fresh food counter) once again in the overview:

  • Supermarkets
  • Organic markets
  • Weekly markets
  • Delicatessens

Supermarkt-Ketten wie TeGut bieten das zum Beispiel schon landesweit an! So ein Angebot hat ja auch einen schönen Marketing-Effekt 😉

Sausage & cheese without plastic? Becomes easier and easier!

Buy plastic free sausage and cheese

Natürlich ist es noch nicht überall möglich und vielleicht musst du noch ein bisschen suchen. Doch mein Gefühl sagt mir, dass es in Zukunft wieder „normal“ sein wird, seine eigene Brotdose mit in den Supermarkt zu nehmen. Wenn du erst einmal deine ideale Anlaufstelle in Wohnungsnähe gefunden hast, wird das plastikfreie Einkaufen von Wurst und Käse schnell zur Routine. Bei den ersten Malen musst du einfach aus alten Gewohnheiten ausbrechen und offen für Neues sein. 🙂

  1. Hallo Christoph, Ergänzung für dieList e der Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. der Metzgerladen um die Ecke. Da kauft man außerdem dann noch regional und stärkt den lokalen Handel 🙂

    1. Hi Annette! Danke dir für den Input – nehme ich gerne in den Artikel auf 🙂
      Many greetings,
      Christoph

  2. Hi Christoph,
    Thanks for the article. It works quite well here. However, hygienic refrigerator storage for cold cuts is a challenge. Glass or stainless steel boxes that are too tall leave too much air in, so it spoils. Ideas?
    Kind regards,
    Cat

  3. We are a family of five, the children go to school and my husband and I both work. Every day I make work and school sandwiches for 5 people, and we consume several packages of sausage and cheese every week. Gladly I would buy of course at the sausage counter or at the butcher, it is simply not financially possible for a large family. The industry gives the small purse with it no chance at all.

    1. Hey Jessi! Wenn das Fleisch so billig ist, dann ist es auch nicht gesund. Dann solltet ihr lieber auf pflanzliche Alternativen umsteigen, z.B. natürliche Streichcreme. Aber auch auf dem Wochenmarkt kannst du Wurst und Käse plastikfrei einkaufen. Grundsätzlich empfehle ich dir, den Fleischkonsum etwas zu reduzieren – das spart Geld und schont die Umwelt. 🙂
      Best regards
      Christoph
