At EcoLocal Farmers Market Moldova plastic packaging is forbidden.
Environment-friendly packaging is encouraged and reduce to minimum.
Carrier bags are reduced and discounts are offered to shoppers who bring their own shopping bags.
Loose produce, such as vegetables, fruit, flowers, nuts, bread are promoted and supported.
