What is Refillable Packaging?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Refillable packaging, or refill products, is a system that allows users to continue using a product without creating new waste. This means that instead of buying a new packaged product to replace the depleted contents, the existing one is refilled and used. This approach is both practical and sustainable and minimises the negative impact on the environment by reducing the waste and energy required to produce new packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhy Refill?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Plastic pollution has become a very visible indicator of the damage we as humanity have caused to the planet we live on and to other living creatures on this planet. Most of us have surely encountered the sad images of plastic pollution in the oceans, seas, rivers and our natural environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our small changes as individuals really do work. But we can’t do it alone, we need collective action. To indeed “turn off the tap” on plastic pollution, companies need to stop producing so much plastic and keep fossil fuels underground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Major brands, businesses and retailers must invest in reuse and refill systems instead of using single-use packaging to reduce plastic pollution.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Worldwide, 8 – 12 million tonnes of plastic enter the ocean annually. Every year, 100,000 marine mammals, turtles, and 1 million seabirds die from plastic pollution. (1<\/span><\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Studies have shown that 90% of birds in the ocean have plastic in their stomachs. By choosing refill products, we can be part of the solution, not the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most plastics are petroleum products and their production requires energy. The plastics industry is therefore one of the sectors where urgent action is needed to tackle the climate crisis. Refilling offers the opportunity to move away from dependence on the fossil fuel economy. Giant companies that feed the world with fossil fuels for energy also supply plastic raw materials. To put a “stop” to the global climate crisis, we have to curb this plastic madness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plastic pollution is also a human health problem. Because microplastics are now circulating in our blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plastic products contain chemical additives and these substances inevitably lead to serious health problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhat is the Contribution of Refillable Packaging to the Planet?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
According to a report for the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, buying refills instead of new ones can reduce CO2 emissions by 70%, energy use by 65% and water use by 45%. <\/strong>(2<\/span><\/a>)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Refillable packaging forms part of the circular economy model, which encourages using, sharing, reusing, repairing and recycling materials and products for as long as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” campaign is an example of this model, as it encourages the reuse of materials and suggests recycling them when they can no longer be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Refill products are based on the idea of encouraging consumers to think about the use of natural resources. In this way, people are made more aware of the impact of their consumption habits on the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This shift in consumer priorities is helping brands to think about how they can extend the life of their products and packaging, as well as their environmental impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
