Making BIO more accessible in Luxembourg.

Many of us love already BIO/organic products, and especially those produced locally. Few facts you should check before placing your order on h1c.

1) Organic/bio eShop h1c is a certified BIO shop.

2) Save your time by completing your usual shopping list, ordering online on h1c.lu from anywhere you are, at any time you want, and be delivered in the comfort of your home or office.

3) Check the reviews of clients from Google reviews.

4) An eShop in Luxembourg seems counter-intuitive because it's an online store, but the idea is actually to deliver only to Luxembourg residents, bearing in mind that local products are prioritized. The concept is to promote organic products, which will lead to a virtuous cycle of health and consumption. Likewise, the less packaging the better.

FAQs

Organic products have different meaning throughout the world, more or less regulated. Therefore some countries/regions have less or no legal basis for enforcement and consumer protection with regard to organic/bio products.

Luckily, European Union made the effort to implement regulations on organic/bio productions.

The current EU organic production regulations exclude products from fishing and hunting of wild animals but include harvest of wild plants when certain natural habitat conditions are respected.


EU promotes organic farming:
- prohibition of the use of GMOs;

- forbidding the use of ionising radiation;

- limiting the use of artificial fertilisers, herbicides and pesticides;

- prohibiting the use of hormones and restrict the use of antibiotics and only when necessary for animal health.

This means that organic producers need to adopt different approaches to maintaining soil fertility and animal and plant health including:

- crop rotation;

- cultivation of nitrogen fixing plants and other green manure crops to restore the fertility of the soil prohibition of use of mineral nitrogen fertilisers;

- to reduce the impact of weeds and pests, organic farmers choose resistant varieties and breeds and techniques encouraging natural pest control;

- encourage the natural immunological defence of animals;

- in order to maintain animal health, organic producers need to prevent overstocking.

Packaging choice are made based on a cascade approach.

1st. Zero packaging: if permitted by the delivery process.

2nd. Sustainable packing: if zero packaging is impossible due to the delivery process.

3rd. Other packaging: if neither of the two solutions above are possible, considering the mission to promote organic consumption, we allow it but with a definite commitment to its' elimination in
the future.
