How can you be a responsible shopper on quick e-commerce?

We recently made some exciting moves at Bare Necessities! Our products are now available on quick commerce platforms, Swiggy Instamart & BlinkIt! 

Quick commerce is often associated with waste and overconsumption, we see it as an opportunity to flip the story. What if we could use the speed and convenience of quick commerce platforms to deliver sustainable, eco-friendly solutions right to your doorstep? 

At Bare Necessities, we’re bringing you clean, refillable, groundwater safe products to your doorstep. And now we can do that quicker with our presence on these platforms.

Beyond offering zero waste products, we’re on a mission to change how we shop and consume. We’re here to build a world, where mindful consumption isn’t just a buzzword, but is in fact the norm. 

If you are someone who is already using quick commerce regularly, why not make your shopping habits more responsible? And we bring you some tips to shop mindfully while still enjoying the perks of quick commerce. 

1. Create a shopping list: Old school, yes. Effective, oh yes! Planning ahead means you won’t have to place multiple orders for your necessities. By grouping your purchases, you’re receiving everything at once, while minimising the number of deliveries and packaging waste 

2. Bulk Up Your Cart: Instead of making several small orders, consolidate your purchases 

3. Offer Water to your Delivery Executive: Whether it’s sunny or rainy, small acts of kindness go a long way. Offering a delivery executive a glass of water is the simplest act of kindness that you can extend for all the hard work they do all day long. 

4. Tip Away! A little tip goes a long way. It shows that you’re recognising their effort and contributing to a culture of respect and kindness 

5. Ditch the Packaging: Most platforms have the option to ditch the plastic bags, and choose to go for it! As much as possible, choose products with minimal packaging or reusable packaging. At Bare Necessities, we offer minimal or zero waste packaging like refillable jars and compostable sachets to reduce waste 

Being a responsible shopper, you can help push the boundaries of what quick commerce can offer. We're here to make eco-friendly living more convenient than ever, but it’s up to us all to make those thoughtful choices that make a real difference. 

So the next time you're out shopping on a quick commerce platform, remember that it’s not just about getting things fast, but it’s about making conscious decisions that benefit you and the planet! Together, we can refine consumption and convenience, one purchase at a time!
