GoodFor is an organic, bulk wholefoods and household items refillery that uses zero packaging and plants a tree for every purchase made.
GoodFor is the first organic bulk wholefoods refillery store of its kind in New Zealand. Founded by ecowarrior James Denton, GoodFor is inspired by a passion for environmental sustainability and aims to change the way we purchase our household goods forever by highlighting the needlessness of single use packaging products.
Denton decided that he needed to make sustainable shopping a lot easier for the everyday consumer and thus his vision was born.
Denton’s vision was to create a plastic-free shopping experience to allow customers and their families to fill their pantries without all the wasteful packaging that comes with it.
GoodFor will stock organic bulk wholefoods, ecoconscious household cleaning products and beverages on tap. Store etiquette is to bring your own reusable jars and bags to be filled, weighed, paid and taken home ready for storage and repeat use. If you forget your own refillable jars it’s no problem at all, GoodFor also has their own range of brilliant un-branded jars to help you transition to a package-less pantry, and ‘lifetime lasting’ thermal bottles, Denton adds “saying no to plastic drinking bottles in style”.
GoodFor supply a selection of brands in their refillery. From April they will also stock a range of GoodFor organic cotton shopping bags and reusable bag kits, handcrafted in the Himalayas. And for those with a healthy sweet tooth, they can stock up on the GoodFor refillable Manuka Honey.
Taking their commitment to the planet to the next level, GoodFor have teamed up with Trees for the Future. For every purchase made in store, one tree will be planted. Trees for the Future have already planted millions of trees as well as helping disadvantaged communities all over the world to learn how to grow and manage their own food sources. www.treesforthefuture.org
