Hi. We are resource market, and we are redesigning grocery
- 00:04 - 00:07
shopping in order to eliminate single use plastic.
- 00:08 - 00:11
As a planet, we produce over 300 million tons of
- 00:11 - 00:12
plastic every year.
- 00:13 - 00:16
Most plastics are only used once and take hundreds of
- 00:16 - 00:16
years to decompose.
- 00:18 - 00:21
90% of Americans wish was cycling was easier and want
- 00:21 - 00:22
to produce the plastic consumption.
- 00:23 - 00:25
So what's stopping consumers from buying zero waste products?
- 00:26 - 00:28
Well, 63% of U.
- 00:28 - 00:30
S. Consumers said that they didn't know what the zero
- 00:31 - 00:31
waste movement waas.
- 00:32 - 00:34
And despite saving you money in the long run, reusable
- 00:35 - 00:37
items tend to have high upfront costs.
- 00:38 - 00:41
Finally, most versatile products are packaged with non recyclable plastics
- 00:42 - 00:45
as a standard, and any zero waste alternatives are hard
- 00:45 - 00:48
to find in one centralized location that meet all of
- 00:48 - 00:49
your grocery needs.
- 00:50 - 00:53
So after evaluating the plastic consumption in our own lives,
- 00:53 - 00:57
our team realized shopping responsibly is not easy.
- 00:58 - 01:01
We created resource market as a centralized location that makes
- 01:01 - 01:04
zero waste grocery shopping easy and affordable.
- 01:05 - 01:08
Our store features everything on your grocery list, but minus
- 01:08 - 01:11
the plastic waste, so to make switching to zero waste
- 01:12 - 01:15
Easy resource market has five different essentials kits that include
- 01:15 - 01:19
reusable and recycle of products to get you started our
- 01:20 - 01:20
team of three.
- 01:20 - 01:22
So it is the foundation that will build our operations
- 01:23 - 01:27
team, our market team and our cafe team through a
- 01:27 - 01:28
mixed revenue stream.
- 01:28 - 01:31
We expect to break even by our third year and
- 01:32 - 01:34
when taking a look at others Airway stores in Seattle
- 01:34 - 01:37
as customers will realize they didn't have everything.
- 01:37 - 01:38
We need it.
- 01:38 - 01:42
Small stores about like specialty boutiques and larger stores still
- 01:43 - 01:44
used single use plastic packaging.
- 01:46 - 01:48
Resource market is the only one stop shop in the
- 01:48 - 01:51
Seattle region that has everything on your grocery list.
- 01:52 - 01:55
By shopping at resource market, consumers are in power to
- 01:55 - 01:59
reduce plastic pollution there, re sourcing the materials in their
- 01:59 - 01:59
everyday products.
