🌿 Why do we do what we do? Here's a little reminder...
Running a refill shop takes more time, more cleaning, more effort, and yes – more staffing costs than a conventional store.
But from day one, our goal has been clear: to make a real, positive impact on the environment while helping our community reduce unnecessary packaging waste (and save a bit of money too!).
So, how are we doing? Well, it’s been a while since we crunched the numbers, but over the past year, thanks to *you* – our amazing customers – we’ve helped avoid an estimated 35,535 pieces of packaging waste! 💚
Here’s what that looks like:
🛍️ ~25,548 plastic bags
💧 ~6,839 plastic bottles
🍯 ~1,627 glass jars
🍾 ~786 glass bottles
📦 ~735 Tetrapaks
That’s roughly 2,961 pieces a month or almost 100 every single day – all thanks to the refill choices made by our brilliant Malmesbury community.
We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved together. So thank you for continuing to support us, and for proving that small choices really do add up to big impact. 🙌
