What’s a Refillery and Why You’ll Love Shopping at One
If you’ve been hearing more about refilleries lately and wondering what all the buzz is about, you’re in the right place! As we all look for ways to live more sustainably, refilleries are becoming a popular, eco-friendly option to reduce waste. In this post, I’ll break down what a refillery is, how it works, and why you’ll love shopping at Wildfire, Altoona’s own sustainable refillery!
What is a Refillery?
A refillery is a store where you can bring your own containers and refill them with a variety of products—everything from personal care items like hand soap to household cleaning supplies. Instead of buying items in single-use plastic packaging, you simply refill your containers and only pay for the product you need.
Refilleries focus on reducing waste by cutting out unnecessary packaging and giving consumers a way to purchase in a more sustainable, low-waste way.
At Wildfire, we make it easy to switch to refillable products, helping you make eco-conscious choices that benefit both you and the planet.
How Does Shopping at a Refillery Work?
Shopping at a refillery is as easy as 1-2-3:
-
Bring Your Own Containers: We encourage you to bring in your own clean containers. You can use anything from glass jars to metal bottles—whatever works for you!
-
Weigh Your Containers: Before you start filling up, we’ll weigh your empty containers to make sure you’re only paying for the product inside.
-
Fill Up: Choose the products you want to refill—whether it’s shampoo, soap, laundry detergent, or cleaning supplies. We’ve got a wide range of sustainable products to choose from.
-
Pay for What You Use: Once your containers are full, you only pay for the amount of product you’ve taken. No waste, no extra packaging, just what you need.
