Independent Grocers reducing spread of Covid-19 with innovative new shopping baskets
WODONGA, VICTORIA. In a dedicated effort to prevent the risk of spreading the Covid-19 virus through high-traffic supermarkets, independent grocers have turned to the innovative new Shopbox.
The Shopbox is a lightweight collapsible shopping basket that supermarket shoppers can purchase, rather than using store-supplied baskets. The fact that the Shopbox is owned by the customer, reduces the shared physical touchpoints within supermarkets, providing an immediate hygiene improvement. The flow-on affect is less customer use of store-provided baskets and a lower risk of spreading the virus.
Supermarkets also benefit from the reduced monetary and human-resource cost of constant cleaning and sanitisation of store-provided baskets, freeing up staff to keep shelves stocked during these busy times.
“It’s pleasing to see the independent supermarkets taking a proactive approach to hygiene and making every effort to limit cross-contamination and the spread of the virus. In the past week we have seen supermarkets from nearly every state and territory place orders for the Shopbox. With Coles and Woolworths now asking customers to bag their own items, we have also seen an influx of enquiries via our website and social media pages from individuals wanting to get a basket or two” says Damian Watson of Shopbox manufacturer, S&J Industrial.
