New Zealand brand Ecostore has introduced its first refillable aluminium bottle for its hand and dish wash products.

The new Ecostore Refill Bottle is 100% aluminium, is designed to be kept for reusing and refilling again and again, and is also a great solution for reducing landfill waste due to its infinitely recyclability. 

Ecostore has teamed up with five other environmental and sustainability conscious companies to show they are ‘walking the talk’ following the Climate Change Commission’s recently released draft plan.

Ecostore, along with Kōkako, Again Again, Chia Sisters, Lewis Road Creamery and Batchwell Kombucha have joined forces for a dedicated first-ever refill event on March 19 – COVID dependent – to reduce plastic waste by educating others about the circular economy through reuse and refilling. 

The companies will be providing special offers to those who bring their reusable containers to refill at the event.

Pablo Kraus, group CEO of ecostore said: “The launch of our new aluminium bottles is another essential step for us in reducing and reusing waste and keeping waste out of the environment. 

“We are thrilled to partner with these five forward-thinking local companies for our first-ever refill event as it gives us a chance to collectively educate and encourage new behaviours around reducing, reusing, and refilling.

“Waste is a very large problem for New Zealand that can’t be fixed with just one solution, so we have many different options for our customers to reduce, reuse, and recycle – and that order matters. 

“Recycling is plan C, the one people should only turn to as the last option. Using our aluminium refill bottle at one of our refill stations will save up to 40 dish wash or 60 hand wash plastic bottles from entering Aotearoa’s waste system – that’s a huge win in our eyes.”
