Event details

Festi'Vrac will plunge you into the heart of a model home to discover all the bulk, zero-waste, reuse and sustainable solutions for every room. Bulk spaces to showcase the many creative, zero-waste alternatives available, all in a fun, friendly atmosphere.

  • Mag à vrac" space: you've never dared to shop in a bulk store? You think it's too restrictive and unappealing? Come and discover the opposite! In our small test store, come and try out buying food in bulk, with real silos and real jars. It's also an opportunity to try out alternatives such as water bottles, cloth bags, beewraps, pouches... (which also weigh less when you go shopping).

  • Vrac'Wash" area: zero-waste cosmetics are becoming increasingly popular. Come and discover Belgian producers and manufacturers of shampoos, soaps, scrubs and other products. As well as all the alternative solutions for getting rid of plastic and giving your bathroom a makeover.

  • Lavo'vrac" area: what does a zero-waste laundry room look like? What zero-waste cleaning products? How to clean effectively with just a few ingredients? You'll also discover that making your own household products is fun, fast and economical. You won't be able to do without them.

Cook au vrac" area: there are lots of easy, tasty recipes to be made with local and/or bulk produce. You'll be able to try out a few of them, and leave with 1001 ideas for delicious meals. With a program of workshops and events all day long, plus a great game for the most motivated, you'll have a great time while discovering how you too can promote a circular economy and take action through your consumption, and become a consom'acteur! Festi'Vrac puts an end to prejudice! Today, bulk, reuse, local and sustainable products are essential concerns. As well as being good for the planet, they're also good for our bodies and minds.
