“World Refill Day is a global public awareness campaign to prevent plastic pollution and help people live with less waste.” awarenessdays.com (2021)
VivaGreen is playing its part for World Refill Day 2021 and calling on people to choose to reuse and Refill to help make single-use plastic a thing of the past.
Why Refill?
There are plenty of reasons why choosing refillable products is beneficial. Whether you are walking down a street or at the beach with family and friends, you don’t have to look too far to see some sort of plastic waste that has not been disposed of correctly. Plastic waste ultimately affects our health and the environment around us. Choosing refill products to help eliminate single-use plastic will help protect our environment for future generations. There is no better reason than this!
3 reasons to refill:
1.Cost Saving
Did you know…. refilling can bring cost-saving benefits. By refilling Tru Eco products consumers can save, up to, 45% each time they refill. For example, a 500ml bottle of All-Purpose Cleaner has an RRP of €3.50, if this is refilled from a 1.5L Refill Botlle the cost per 500ml is just €1.95. But that’s not the only saving -there’s no need to squash down the empty bottle to fit in the recycling bin, meaning less waste to pay for.
2.Support Local
We’re encouraging people to refill and #SupportLocal.
We provide our TruEco Products to a range of local businesses who have worked so well with us to introduce Tru Eco refill stations in their stores. Click here to find your local ‘Refill Station’.
Supporting local businesses helps create new jobs and income in your local community.
3.Environmental Footprint
By choosing refill products, you contribute towards living in a circular economy. Living in a circular economy means a product is designed to be used again and again. An example of this is The Tru Eco Bottle, these bottles are made from 100% recycled plastic, and they are reusable, recyclable and refillable.
By refilling, we can reduce our environmental footprint, minimise plastic waste, as well as lower carbon emissions.
Thank you to everyone who has helped reduce single-use plastic by choosing to refill!
