ECO-SHOP, an ultra-affordable household retailer, has launched its Eco-Plus Concept Store at IOI City Mall in Putrajaya. The store’s facilities have been meticulously crafted by upcycling plastic waste into recyclable materials in collaboration with Precious Plastic Malaysia. This eco-conscious approach extends to key store elements, including racks, dining tables, and cashier counters made from repurposed plastic.
The Eco-Plus Concept Store is designed to transform the shopping experience by blending sustainability with extensive product accessibility. The store offers nearly 10,000 household items, ranging from food and essential tools to stationery and pet products, all aimed at maintaining affordability.
“Our deliberate pricing strategy is a must for affordability, a core principle ingrained in the very fabric of Eco-Shop since its inception. It goes beyond retail; it’s a dynamic manifestation of our mission to empower every individual, irrespective of economic stature, to embrace a sustainable lifestyle,” said CEO Jessica Ng.
