Bringing their own tubs or containers, people can fill them up, pay by weight, and head home happy in the knowledge that they are part of a solution to the global waste issue.
Selling everyday staples such as pasta, rice as well as carefully sourced seasonal organic fresh produce (farm-fresh eggs, fruits, vegetables and fresh bread), The Refillery works with suppliers who share its eco-friendly ethos.
Stocking ethical detergents, beeswax wraps, cruelty-free shampoos and even toothpaste in a jar, the store thinks beyond food packaging and is passionate about reducing plastic across the board.
“UK retailers generate around 800,000 tonnes of packaging waste per year and it’s believed that only a third actually gets recycled – that’s enormous!
Our relationship with single-use plastic simply must change.
I’m excited to be joining the ranks of revolutionary businesses who are offering something radically different to combat our global waste issue.
The Refillery is open Tuesday to Saturday 10am to 7pm and 11-4pm Sunday and is also selling online at therefillery.co.uk.
