Prague is a beautiful city often compared to Paris. It is very easy to get lost in the wonderful streets of Prague. But can you buy eco and sustainable goods here? Sure you can! And we will show you some places, where to find them.
Zero waste
Zero-waste shopping is becoming more and more popular and it is very easy! Take some bags and jars you find at home. Make your grocery shopping using your own packages and leave the shop without producing any waste but still with everything you needed to buy. Perfect concept, Ecobnb is a huge fan of! Here are some tips for zero waste shopping in Prague.
Bez obalu
Bez obalu is a non-profit organization spreading the idea of a zero-waste lifestyle in the Czech Republic. You can find dry organic food in bulk– for example rice, legume, nuts & seeds, dried fruit, chocolate, sweets, and many more. You can taste everything before buying. And if you come without reusable bags, you can buy some cloth packaging as well as reusable glass, in which you can take your goodies home.

Farmer´s market
A very popular concept in Prague, especially during summer. The most popular farmer´s market is in Naplavka Riverbank. To walk around and shop organic fruit, vegetable, oils … or just to buy some brunch is a perfect form of relaxation. Bring your own bags and packaging and your shopping will be zero-waste as well. Come earlier on Saturday morning to avoid crowds.
Nebaleno
For ecological and zero-waste cleaning products and cosmetics, Nebaleno is a perfect choice! Their suppliers are at the same time manufacturers of products they offer. Products are ecological, not tested on animals, and without packaging. But if you will find some packaged products anyway, the package is compostable after usage. All you need is to take a jar or container with you. Don´t worry if you do not have any, people from Nebaleno will borrow you one for free!

Slow Fashion
Fast fashion is all around us. The phenomenon of quickly changing fashion trends is not sustainable at all and it even destroys our planet. Concept of slow fashion on the other hand shifts from quantity to quality. It is often referred as sustainable, ethical, or fair fashion.
Bohempia
Bohempia makes shoes, clothes, and accessories from hemp. Everything is manufactured in the Czech Republic. Hemp is an ecologically produced, sustainable, biodegradable material, which is also very strong, antibacterial, and comfortable to wear. Hemp itself is considered one of the most sustainable natural textiles. They have PETA vegan certification and are sourced by the EU.
