At the end of February this year, news spread in the market that "the 'zero copy' service at Shanghai Soap's Yangshupu Road store will be discontinued," causing citizens to rush to the "zero copy" store for fear of never seeing this service again. At that time, Shanghai Soap Manufacturing clarified that the zero-copy service would not be stopped, but that it would temporarily close due to the relocation of the factory. After more than half a year of equipment upgrades and site selection, on November 8, two brand-new zero-copy locations reopened at the Daqiao Street Charity Supermarket at No. 399 Ningguo Road and the Changbai Street Charity Supermarket at No. 55 Kongjiang Road. At the same time, Shanghai Soap has opened a pop-up store in the "M Mali" park at No. 850 Xikang Road to provide citizens with a "zero-copy" experience before November 15.

The reporter saw that the new zero-copy service is basically the same as in the past - citizens bring their own containers, which are "peeled" and then filled, weighed and sold. Currently on the market are two classic products, which maintain the characteristics of high quality and low price: Fan brand heavy-duty phosphorus-free laundry detergent is 7.9 yuan per catty, and fan brand sandalwood soap is 4.9 yuan per catty.

There was no advertisement for the reopening of Zero Copy Point, but surrounding residents got the news early from the newly posted price list and rushed to revisit this traditional service on the first day.

An aunt directly brought a 5-liter drinking water bottle, "I live far away, so I buy more when I come here. Mainly I always use Fan brand products, which make the washing clean. Besides, there are many people in the family, so laundry detergent is difficult to use." Very quickly." She said that this large bottle of laundry detergent cost less than 47 yuan.

There are also uncles who bring four or five empty bottles of laundry detergent from other brands at once, "copy" them all and send them back to relatives and friends. I support zero copies not only because they are cheap, but also because they are environmentally friendly. Look at such good packaging bottles , it would be too wasteful not to reuse it.”

In the "M Mali" park, many young people come to experience "zero copy". Many young people working nearby passed by during their lunch break and thought the zero-copy service was strange. The "zero copy" here is slightly different from that in charity supermarkets: you first select the capacity you want to "copy" on a "zero copy machine", and then the machine automatically pours the soap liquid into the container, which is a bit like the automatic machine in a restaurant. Beverage machine.
On-site staff said that young people are very creative. In addition to the most common beverage bottles, there are also snack cans, plastic lunch boxes, empty cosmetic cans, etc. "This shows that the environmental protection concept of 'zero copy' is also spreading among young people. "She noticed that there are more and more elderly consumers these days. "It should be the result of 'word of mouth', and the surrounding residents are also attracted. "
Relevant people in Shanghai soap making told reporters that the zero-copy service returning to the market is not the final state, but should first meet the current needs of citizens. According to the plan, the zero-copy service will continue to be upgraded. On the one hand, the varieties will increase. "For example, some citizens mentioned that they want to have zero-copy softeners, and related products will be added in the future." There are also some affordable washing soaps, detergents, and time-honored brands such as "Fenghua" and "Shanghai Medicated Soap" Innovative products may also be supplied and sold at zero-copy points to facilitate public procurement.
On the other hand, zero copy points will increase. The first batch of zero-copy stores to be re-opened were selected in charity supermarkets in the community, in order to be closer to the citizens. Later, we will strive to enter more communities in the city. Therefore, they developed a "zero-copy machine" used in pop-up stores, which is more flexible and convenient in layout, and also has the opportunity to realize "self-service zero-copy".
