BUMI is considering several aspects, from reducing packaging aiming to reduce the Earth's waste, sell nature friendly (vegan-products) that is much kinder and biodegradable to earth and supporting local farmers.
The concept of the business is encouraging customer to do a responsible shopping and minimize the waste by bringing their own container, responsible to take as much or as little as they want, and provide a recycle jar or packaging to be adopted by other customer who doesn't bring their own container when do shopping.
By buying in one time large quantity and sell it in retail, Bumi can manage the waste from the packaging. In addition they keep the packaging and re-use it to package their future product selling. Customers have been in awe on how shopping from bulk stores is MUCH MORE affordable, waste free and the absolute feeling of positivity of doing something kind to our Earth.
