It is a known fact that the UK produces 10 million tonnes of food and drink waste each year. Buying large quantities of food in amounts defined by the vendor is one of the contributing factors leading to waste. By buying more than we need in difficult to reseal plastic containers which greatly reduce their shelf life once opened, we create the perfect conditions for those leftover quantities to go to waste.
By refilling containers, you can be in control over the amount you buy which reduces waste and eliminates single-use plastic packaging going to landfill. It’s better for the planet, and by only buying what you need, it’s better for your pocket too.
