REFILL STATIONS
Saves 40 Plastic Dish Liquid bottles / 60 Plastic Hand Wash bottles
Specialty Grocers - Because we use large 20 litre containers at our Refill Stations, by refilling the same bottle again and again, you’ll reduce your plastic use by the most. And you’ll save money too, with an everyday lower price on refills. All you need to do is rinse out your old bottle, let it dry and take it to your nearest Refill Station. There are 90+ across New Zealand, in green stores and speciality grocery stores. simply rinse your old bottle, let it dry and bring it in (don’t forget the cap).
Supermarkets - If you’re used to our other Refill Stations, refilling at supermarkets will be a little different. Bring your ecostore Refill bottle, then using the tap or pump on the bulk refill container, fill it with product right to the top. Write the product code and name on a label sticker, and place over the existing barcode (Note: you can do this with your Dish Liquid 500ml bottle, we’re currently working with retailers to set up our Hand Wash 330ml bottle). Available at selected New World's and Countdown Waiheke.

Why aluminium?
It’s designed to look good in your kitchen, with simple modern artwork by New Zealand artist and long-time ecostore collaborator John Reynolds - you won't want to throw it away. And because it’s made from durable aluminium, it will stay that way, refill after refill. But it’s also efficiently, infinitely recyclable, so it can come back as a new bottle. As well as reducing waste to landfill, remaking uses only 5% of the energy and emits 5% of the CO2, compared with the first time it was made. https://www.recycle.co.nz/
Stay spotless!
To keep your Limited Edition Refill Bottle as clean and fresh as your hands and dishes - we recommend rinsing and drying thoroughly every six months or so (between refills) or when you switch fragrances. It’s also a good idea to wipe the outside regularly. Please keep it away from your dishwasher or abrasive cleaners. When it's done its dash, simply remove the pump, rinse, and pop in your kerbside recycling. And each pump should be good for around 2,000 uses (around 6x refills of hand wash or 9x dish liquid refills), but if it stops working, we’ll happily provide a replacement for free. Please contact [email protected] and we’ll get that sorted for you.
