Refill and Reduce

Refill and reduce

Don’t replace and recycle, refill – food, coffee cups, water bottle, personal hygiene and household cleaning bottles. Even better ‘give dry a try’ by purchasing concentrates – shampoo, conditioner and kitchen bare bars, laundry sheets etc and add the water at home!  Learn more here.
