Refill, Reuse, Rethink
Over the last few weeks we’ve discovered that the most popular container for refills is the takeaway tub - lightweight, stackable and happy going through the dishwasher. To say we’re super pleased is an understatement - it just proves that refilling is not about fancy containers, but about the day to day practical - reusing what you have.
(The second favourite is ice cream tubs!)
See you soon.

We’re in our third week! It seems like no time ago that we had a building site on our hands, and an awful lot of empty containers to fill. We’ve managed to restore the old Salvation Army hall to it’s high-ceilinged glory, which has worked brilliantly with the rows of refills.
It’s been incredible to meet so many of you over the last few weeks - and to see so many containers coming to be refilled. Every single one of them has likely saved a single use plastic bag. It’s incredibly satisfying: we had popcorn for the first time in ages: we had a 25kg sack, which decanted into the dispensers, then into our tub and was turned into olive oil sale & vinegar popcorn. Not a single piece of plastic waste. We did feel just a little bit pleased with ourselves!!
Hope to see you soon.
