Osaka, Japan: Stores that sell products by weight and volume are gaining popularity amid growing awareness of the problematic quantities of plastic waste linked to shopping.
Shoppers who take containers to such stores help to reduce waste and, because products are not sold in fixed quantities, they can avoid having to buy more than they actually need.
The idea that every little helps has been gaining momentum in line with the United Nations sustainable development goals.
