{Filo} meaning: the leaf
David and Russell (two of five Conway brothers) founded Filo Market. David is an evangelist for the planet, and Russell is a designer with an appetite for social change. Irritated by a lack of healthy food without wasteful packaging, the idea for Filo was born. We are the first low-waste, plastic-free grocery store designed for scale. Filo has its eyes set on reversing the plastic pollution crisis as trash turns out to be mostly food packaging.
Grocery Stores are Falling Behind
Grocery stores haven’t changed in decades. Their problems include long checkout lines, grossly oversized stores, and too many options. The biggest problem of all is their fixation on excessive packaging. This packaging is costly in materials, shipping, and the environment. Filo is addressing this by rethinking how to deliver food without wasteful packaging, especially plastic packaging.
The partners that are helping bring Filole to life.
We feel for those that have been adversely affected by the pandemic. We are taking COVID-19 as a valuable lesson in how to make our business better, safer, and more resilient. Shopping at Filolē is inherently safer than traditional grocery stores largely due to SmartBins' dispensers. For instance, prepackaged based grocery stores have hundreds of thousands of products lining the shelves. These products go through complex supply chains with many human touch points. However, our dispensers are easy for us to keep sanitized as the handle is the only shopper touch point. We are dedicated to keeping our store fully operational and safe for your family.
