About Us
At Lyfa we believe that reusable packaging is the solution to single-use packaging, just as long as it's convenient for people.

Our mission is to make it simple, convenient and accessible for people to live waste-free, and with reusable packaging, home delivery and reverse logistics, our zero-waste e-grocery service is doing just that.

We are based in Switzerland but we have big ambitions to conquer Europe and become the no.1 for waste-free shopping. We are still in our early days, but with seed funding secured we are now bringing in new faces to build a great team that will drive the company forward.

Having recently secured our Seed financing, we are now expanding our team and searching for passionate people to join us in our vision of making grocery shopping sustainable.
