Kyklo, might be a small shop in Exarcheia, but the owner - Chloe, has packed many things and ideas into this space. Dedicated to reducing plastic waste not only in its bulk, refillable, pay-by-the-weight concept but also in its supply chain, Kyklo (literally meaning circle in Greek) has products ethically crafted from small businesses in Chloe's native lands of Greece and France, representing a fusion of culture and conscience.
Aspiring to be a one-stop shop for ecological and quality zero-waste solutions, Kyklo advocates for a slower and more conscious way of living and consumption. With its wide variety of products, Kyklo ensures that every aspect of life can be lived in harmony with the planet. There, you can source everything you need for your day-to-day, from food in bulk and personal care products (soaps, deodorants, skincare, makeup removers) to ecological children's toys, zero waste cleaning solutions (bulk detergents, biodegradable sponges, laundry tablets), and women's care (nursing clothes, zero waste period products & sustainable fashion).
The common denominator of all the above is their organic origin, minimal to no packaging, and no plastic. The circle opens when Chloe selects goods for her own family, sharing her dedication to zero waste, eco and budget-friendly living with the local community through her shop. Truly embodying the essence of a circular economy, Kyklo nurtures a cycle of love and sustainability that perpetuates itself infinitely.
