Refill: The idea. The app. The movement.

June 21, 2018 by Alan Stainer

Refill: The idea. The app. The movement.

It’s a simple concept. You install the app on your smartphone and it shows you registered Refill Stations nearby where you can go and refill your reusable water bottle for free.

The businesses that sign up get increased footfall and that feel good factor for doing something positive and the people that fill up their bottles? Well, they get to quench their thirst and don’t throw away all of those plastic bottles that are filling up our rivers, seas and oceans.

So it’s a win win!

Anyway, linked below is the collection I set up for Kinder Living who have been busily signing up local businesses in the Horsham District of West Sussex prior to the official launch on July the 8th. Feel free to have a look.

Oh and here’s a link to the main Refill website if you would like to read more about it, or even start one up in your area! https://www.refill.org.uk/

    Good idea our local city council here on the gold coast in Australia has been putting free water refilling stations in the public parks & council facilities and offer reusable drink bottles to encourage the same.https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/CqSJMeBBOvKW0XL7yS7xwyKLM_qdHxYdgqHfVFr50uE6eLPlXeZV7broJici4iCYsxepVgnSObIbocY=s0

    Refilling water bottles eliminates a lot of plastic in the environment, but where will people get the 40 grams of sugar they were used to getting in their soda refills? :-)

    Mac Baird I vote for an energy chocolate bar to supplement your sugar needs on those long walks. ;)

    You might want to make sure your refill stations are not connected to polluted municipal systems.
