Despite being one of the 20th century's most valuable innovations and one of the most pernicious, the material is so pervasive that it appears difficult to escape.
You want to lessen your carbon footprint, right? For a Doha grocery run without using plastic, go to these locations.
Evergreen Organics
Going plastic-free while shopping and being a vegan often go hand in hand. If you visit Evergreen Organics in The Gate Mall, you can buy a variety of necessities without having to worry about harming the environment. You may purchase glass jars and other containers from Torba and fill them with spices or household products like hand soap and dishwashing detergent (more on that in a moment). Even better, you can receive a 10% discount on your transaction when you bring your own container for coffee or food takeout.
daily from 7 am until 11 pm. West Bay, The Gate Mall, evergreenorganics.qa (4006 0049).
LuLu Hypermarket
Because of its wide variety of foods from around the world, we think of LuLu Hypermarket as something of a paradise, but if you visit one of the chain's more recent stores, you'll discover still another reason we adore it: refill stations. For a plastic-free shopping experience, visit the branch in Abu Sidra Mall or Ain Khaled. There, you'll find sizable refill stations with pasta, rice, beans, and more. You can either buy (or bring) your own container or use a recyclable paper bag.
Open Saturday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to midnight and on Friday from 8 a.m. to 10.30 a.m. and 12 p.m. to midnight. Ain Khaled, Muaither, or Abu Sidra Mall (4496 9888 / 4497 0888).
Monoprix
We'll use any justification to visit the Iconic 2022 structure, but anyone wishing to shop in Doha without using plastic should head straight for the Monoprix.
In addition to a vast selection of Torba items, this location has a refill station with dried goods like beans, nuts, and spices.
Reward yourself with a coffee from Flat White next door after you're finished.
Open Saturday through Thursday from 9 a.m. until midnight and on Friday from 9 a.m. to 11.30 a.m. until midnight.
Iconic 2022, Aspire Zone (4473 2400).
Torba Store
You may be familiar with the name Torba from the seasonal farmers' market in Education City (and, more recently, Msheireb Downtown Doha), but you can also shop for produce, bread, and other things at the Torba Store without worrying about plastic. There are several local shops to visit in addition to Torba's own-brand products, such as Vitamin Bar, Kombucha Sahili, and Nature's Treasures. Bring the kids and they can enjoy the kid-friendly food at the café or participate in the QR35 instructional gardening classes that are held on Thursdays and Saturdays.
daily from 8 am until 10 pm. Al Duhail North, Villa 26, Street 963, @thetorbastore (3100 8110).
