At GreenPerks, our team is always looking for innovative ways to refill and reduce plastic waste. Today, let's join hands to embrace the refill revolution. Here are a few easy yet powerful steps we can all take to make refilling a part of our daily lives: 1. Bring Your Own Bottle. Carry a reusable water bottle and refill it throughout the day instead of buying single-use plastic bottles. 2. Refill Household Products. Use refill stations for household products like detergents, shampoos, and cleaning supplies. Many stores now offer bulk refills to cut down on packaging waste. 3. Use Refillable Coffee Cups: Bring a reusable coffee cup to your favorite café and ask them to fill it instead of using disposable cups. 4. Refill Personal Care Items: Switch to refillable containers for personal care products like lotions and soaps. Look for brands that offer refill options. 5. Promote and Support Refill Stations: Advocate for more refill stations in your community and support businesses that offer refill options. Let's make every day a refill day. Together, we can create a greener, cleaner future. 💚 #WorldRefillDay #Sustainability #GreenPerks #ReducePlastic #EcoFriendlyLiving #ZeroWaste

Reducing plastic waste and plastic in your body can be a simple step like swapping out your hot beverage tools. 🍵 Tea bags ➡️ Grab a reusable tea bag, ball, filter, or teapot, and buy loose-leaf tea. Take your glass jar or beeswax bag to the refill counter, or go in with some friends on a giant bulk bag and share it out into your plastic-free storage containers. ☕ Hot beverage cups ➡️ Most "paper" cups are covered in a plastic coating that melts into your hot drink. If you haven't yet, gift yourself a reusable mug and keep it in your bag, car, or glued to your hand. If you forget your reusable cup, and they don't offer a drink-in option - try another place? Healthy body and planet vs slight inconvenience 💚#itsyourchoice #sustainability #ecoliving #plasticpollution #plasticfree #plasticfreeliving #plasticfreejuly #climateaction #teabags #generationrestoration

Take Action for Plastic Free Future (Day 20) Not only is it healthier but making your own meals doesn’t involve takeout containers or doggy bags. For those times when you do order in or eat out, tell the establishment you don’t need any plastic cutlery or plastic carry-out bags. For some serious extra credit, bring your own food-storage containers to restaurants for leftovers. #CoastalTaskForce #Saveocean #ouroceanourfuture #PlasticFreeJuly #ChooseToRefuse #PFJ #PlasticFreeJuly2024 #reduceplasticwaste #plasticavoidance #PlasticFreeFoundation #SmallStepsBigDifference #BeatPlasticPollution #JulioSinPlastico #JulhoSemPlastico #saynotoplastic #zerowaste #recycle #savetheplante #plasticfreeliving #plasticdetox #sustainability

Freebies and the connection to plastic waste Below is a picture of a set of ‘toys’ that a mid sized snack manufacturer has included in their product. This is by no means a unique activity as most ready made fast food snacks aimed at children have freebies added as part of the product. Two problems as I see with this: - this may be adding to the weight of the product reducing the weight of snack available for consumption. - these ‘toys’ are mostly single use, or not even that, and they are light and easily blown in the wind. This only adding plastic waste to communities least equipped to deal with it. This is because these are mostly cheaply priced products aimed at the corner store consumer. I believe a conversation is long overdue between teams in organisations serious about their EPR responsibilities about their freebie strategies in order to reduce their plastic waste footprint. As a consumer, making me feel guilty about wanting to, and having to disposing mindfully all the time, will only make me stop consuming the product. #marketing #salestransformation #esgstrategy #plasticpollution

🌊 #PlasticFreeJuly continues and it's all about the ripple effect! Turns out, small changes (like using reusable grocery bags) can create a big wave of positive impact on creating a healthy planet for healthy people. As we continue to recognize Plastic-Free July, let's keep the momentum going by inspiring each other to ditch single-use plastics in our daily routines. Here's how YOU can make a difference: 🛍 Become a reusable pro: Swap those flimsy plastic bags for your favorite reusable totes. Bonus points for keeping them handy in your car! 💦 Sip sustainably: Ditch bottled water and invest in a reusable water bottle you love. Staying hydrated never looked (or tasted) so good. 🎒 Pack smart: Pack lunches and snacks in reusable containers to avoid pre-packaged, plastic-laden options. 🥬 Think outside the (plastic) wrap: Skip the excessive plastic packaging when grocery shopping. Look for loose produce and items with minimal plastic packaging. 🔊 Spread the word: Share your plastic-free swaps with friends, family, and colleagues. You never know who you might inspire to join the movement! What habits have you been implementing so far? #PlasticFreeJuly #BeatPlasticPollution #Sustainability #HealthyPlanetHealthyPeople #ChampionsofChange

US business promotes refillable products In Durham, North Carolina, a local business is addressing climate change by providing an alternative to plastic containers used for household products such as soap and cleaners. Filaree offers natural soap, shampoo, and cleaners in refillable glass bottles, promoting reuse and reducing plastic waste. With a weekly production exceeding 350 gallons of natural soap, Fillaree products are available in various retailers and can be purchased online for bulk refills. Customers have three convenient options for refilling: locating one of over 70 refill stations across the United States, visiting the storefront in Durham, NC, or enjoying home refills with 0.5-gallon (2.27 litre) boxes available for subscription. The initiative has so far prevented 300,000 plastic bottles from reaching landfills in the past year, contributing to sustainability efforts in the local community.
