World Refill Day – 16th June - Step up for Reuse!

World Refill Day is a global day of action to prevent plastic pollution and help people live with less waste.

Research shows that people want to reduce single-use packaging, but they can’t access reusable alternatives where they shop.  A not for profit organisation called City to Sea has decided to tackle this issue through their Refill campaign ‘Step up for Reuse’ to stop plastic pollution at source, by connecting our actions to our oceans.

How can you help right now? One thing you can do today is download the Refill app on your phone to find out which Refill Stations are located near you.  This means that you can top up your supplies through zero waste shopping, or refill your coffee mug or water bottle by visiting the locations listed on the app.

Penicuik Storehouse is happy to announce that we are now featuring on the Refill app (Food, water and hot drinks refills available).  Please share the app with your friends and family and get everyone involved in reducing plastic use now!

Visit our Refillery on June 16th (and beyond!) where you will find a selection of wet and dry goods, such as laundry liquid, body wash, cereals, pasta, dried fruit, nuts and more, plus tasty treats, such as chocolate coated orange zest.  It's also cheaper to buy products through the Refillery rather than the same products when they are pre-packaged  – what’s not to like?!
