SUSTAINABLE ENTREPRENEURSHIP
POTJE D'ICI
Behind the project, we find Sébastien who has swapped his commercial engineer hat for a hired chef's hat. Potje d'ici offers seasonal soups at low prices in returnable glass jars, cooked at l'USINE, delivered by cargo bike in Brussels and in accordance with a sustainable economy.
An eco-responsible project
- The products come from sustainable local agriculture, in accordance to the seasons, and bought at a fair price (at Terroirist), which ensures a long-term partnership with farmers.
- The principle of zero waste is applied to the maximum. Deliveries are made by bicycle and glass jars are returnable, which ensures a low ecological footprint.
- Economic : sterilization of the jars allows long storage at room temperature, which frees up space in the fridge.
Soups are made from organic vegetables only, water, organic olive oil and organic spices. They keep 3 months at room temperature after production.
