Sustainability

The case for boring, repeated cardboard

The case for boring, repeated cardboard

Sometimes the most sustainable choice is the dullest one. Here's how we shipped 500k packages with one box.

When Xcarty first tried Xcarty, the goal was simple: stop thinking about groceries so much. The personalisation quiz captured the essentials — household size, tastes, anything to avoid — and the first basket arrived already feeling familiar.

What changed

Setting a budget cap meant the cart planned itself around real limits, not wishful ones. A fixed delivery window turned a weekly chore into something that simply happens — and adjustments take seconds when the week looks different.

  • One cap, set once, respected every week.
  • A basket tuned to real tastes and restrictions.
  • Deliveries on a schedule that fits the household.
