Join us on the road to refill! WHAT IS A REFILLERY? A refillery is a retail store designed to help you reduce your single-use plastic consumption by offering the option to reuse and refill your own containers again and again with household and personal care products. Refilleries are often more “zero waste” than your average bulk food stores and many refilleries actually return their empty bulk containers to the product manufacturers to be refilled again and again, i.e., creating a closed-loop packaging system. So, now that you know what a refillery is, why are they important and why is it important to refill your products? Well, refilling reduces waste, specifically plastic waste, and in a time period where we are exponentially producing more and more plastics but are only recycling 9% of the plastic that we throw away, our whole production and consumption system needs to change. But a simple start that you can do is to ditch the “reduce, reuse, recycle” mindset that mainly just focuses on recycling, and to switch to a “reduce, reuse, REFILL” mindset. By choosing to reuse your containers rather than recycling them or tossing them in the garbage we can save resources and energy. At Refill 78, at the Burncoat Center for Arts and Wellness, you will find an ever expanding refill station stocked with body care and household products. Bring your empty containers for refill, or grab one of ours. Our refillery also offers ample bath, body, and household products made with minimal to no packaging, and single use alternatives for everyday life.
