Waste
Waste Reduction
Description of Action: 
The Refill Market partners with multiple suppliers who take back their containers for reuse, thus "closing the loop" and keeping plastic out of the waste stream. In the two years I've been in business, I've sold 95,107 ozs of refillable products. That equals 5,944 16-oz plastic bottles saved from the landfill.
Waste Reuse
Description of Action: 
The Refill Market reuses as much packaging material (boxes, packing peanuts, brown kraft paper) as possible. If I have excess, I donate it to other small businesses. I also accept donations of brown kraft paper bags for customers who need a bag for their purchase.
Money Saved: 
150
Waste Recycling
Description of Action: 
The Refill Market offers several in-store recycling programs to the public. Customers can recycle the following items: writing instruments and packaging (pens, markers, mechanical pencils, paint sets, empty glue sticks), crayons, oral care products and packaging (toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes and caps, floss containers), health and nutrition products and packaging, Brita water filters, razors and packaging, and plastic bags. I estimate our recycling programs have already saved at least 20 pounds of otherwise-trash from entering the waste stream.
Lbs Saved: 
20
Hazardous Waste/Toxic Use Reduction
Description of Action: 
The Refill Market is committed to selling only products that are free of SLS, parabens, phthalates and artificial dyes and scents, which make them healthier for the planet and the consumer.
Waste Other
Description of Action: 
In the first three months of business (June 1 - August 31, 2021), The Refill Market refilled 787 containers, effectively keeping 787 plastic containers out of the waste stream. Additionally, my customers have recycled about 270 pounds of various types of waste through Terracycle.
