DCC Update – Join us in the Refill revolution!

This week it’s been World Refill Day. It’s a campaign that we support that encourages people to stop using products with single-use packaging, such as for some food and drinks.

To make that easier, you can download a Refill app to your mobile device that tells you which of your local retailers encourage you to do that.

There are nearly 1,000 retailers in Devon listed on the app, and it’s not just about re-filling your drinks bottle. The app points you to Refill and Zero Waste Stores, where customers can reuse and refill containers again and again with anything from coffee beans, rice and pasta, to cereals, spices, cooking oil, and some personal care items like soap or shampoo.

Did you know that an estimated 800 plastic bottles per minute end up being disposed of as litter in the UK, and often make their way into our waterways and out to sea.

We can all do our bit to prevent that. Read more about the free Refill App on the Refill website.
