Why Refill, Not Landfill: Small Steps for Big Change
Amy PerezShare
Every year, billions of single-use plastic deodorant containers end up in landfills, taking hundreds of years to break down—if they ever do. The convenience of traditional packaging comes at an environmental cost we can no longer ignore. But what if making one small change, like switching to refillable deodorant, could create a ripple effect of positive impact? Let’s dive into why refilling beats landfilling and how small steps can lead to big change.
The Problem: A World Overflowing with Plastic
Plastic waste is one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. Here’s why:
- The Numbers Don’t Lie: An estimated 120 billion units of personal care packaging are produced globally each year, most of which are single-use.
- Recycling Isn’t the Solution We Think It Is: Only about 9% of plastic waste ever produced has been recycled, while the rest clogs up landfills or pollutes our oceans.
- The Hidden Impact: The production and disposal of plastic release harmful greenhouse gases, contributing to climate change.
Deodorant containers are a small part of this massive problem—but they’re something we all use daily, making them a great place to start.
The Refill Revolution: A Solution Within Reach
Switching to refillable deodorant might seem like a small change, but the environmental benefits are significant.
- Reduce Plastic Waste: A refillable system means using one container over and over, eliminating the need for single-use packaging.
- Cut Carbon Emissions: Refilling uses fewer resources to produce and transport packaging materials, leading to a smaller carbon footprint.
- Support a Circular Economy: By choosing refillable products, you’re participating in a system that prioritizes reuse over waste.
At Purefill, we’ve designed our refillable deodorant to be as eco-friendly as possible, using durable, sustainable materials that stand the test of time.
The Bigger Picture: Small Steps, Big Change
Making eco-conscious decisions in our daily routines can have a powerful cumulative effect.
- Start with One Product: Refillable deodorant is a simple, effective way to reduce waste without sacrificing convenience or performance.
- Inspire Others: When your friends and family see your commitment to sustainability, they may be inspired to make changes too.
- Be Part of a Movement: Every purchase of a refillable product signals to industries that consumers demand more sustainable options.
How to Get Started with Refilling
