The Refill Stop
Jessica's Eco-friendly Haven
Nestled in the heart of New Westminster, British Columbia, The Refill Stop stands as a testament to Jessica's passion for environmental sustainability. As a woman-owned business, it reflects her commitment to making a real impact on the world. This isn't just a store; it's a movement. Jessica's journey began with a simple idea – reducing waste by encouraging refills of everyday essentials.
Her shop, an eco-minded oasis, invites customers to bring their personal containers to refill with a variety of soaps and house cleaners. From dish and laundry detergents to luxurious body soaps, each product is chosen with care. The heart of The Refill Stop beats with a mission: to curb single-use plastics and promote a more sustainable lifestyle.
In just over three years, Jessica's efforts have led to over 65,000 bottle refills, significantly reducing landfill waste. The store's shelves boast over 50% locally made products, underscoring her commitment to supporting the local community and economy. Another 20% of the products are sourced from different areas of Canada, with the rest curated from around the globe, always with sustainability in mind.
But Jessica's vision extends beyond the store's walls. The Refill Stop caters to local residences and businesses, offering bulk quantities and convenient delivery services. Her dedication is evident in every aspect of the business, from the carefully selected eco-friendly products to the personalized customer service.
