Pick 'n Pay launched a brand new packaging-free zone - and Breakfast with Martin Bester likes it a lot!

The new zone will provide customers with the opportunity to purchase a wide range of products without packaging.

The new zone includes 88 dry grocery products across 15 different categories, including dry baking goods, cereals, dried fruit, flour, grains, ground coffee beans, nuts, pasta, beans, rice, seeds, spices, superfoods, olive oil, and vinegar. 

SO HOW WILL THIS WORK? 

Customers are encouraged to bring their own reusable container, but for those who forget, the store will offer free paper bags and a range of reusable containers that can be purchased.

The ladies of Breakfast with Martin Bester weighed in on the topic. 

"I would literally go with a bucket," said Elma Smit.

"We need to save the planet so I like this. Great Pick 'n Pay!" said Liesl Laurie. 

Do you think shops should follow this new packaging-free zone?
