According to the latest statistics from satisca.com, the global production of plastic bottles reached a staggering 583 billion in 2021. This is an alarming increase of 100 billion bottles in just five years. These plastic bottles are a major contributor to the ever-growing plastic pollution problem, as they take hundreds of years to decompose and often end up in landfills, oceans, and other natural habitats.
As responsible citizens, we have a vital role in minimizing plastic waste. One effective way to achieve this is by reusing plastic bottles rather than discarding them after a single use. By embracing this practice, we can disrupt the cycle of excessive plastic production and make a meaningful contribution towards a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly future.
At IpohRefill, we are dedicated to advancing sustainable practices through our innovative unpackaged retailing approach. We warmly invite you to join us in this important journey, where together, we can make a meaningful difference. By reducing plastic waste, we can contribute to a healthier environment and work towards a more sustainable future for generations to come. Let’s unite in our efforts to create a better planet for everyone.

The Zero Waste Way
Zero Waste
Give everything a second, third, or even more chances—don't discard a fully functional one. Instead, clean it and refill it!
Sustainable
Choose products that are gentle on the environment and do not disrupt natural ecosystems. Support local sellers to contribute to a sustainable and thriving community.
Reusable
Refilling your cleaning product into an empty used bottle reduces one more plastic bottle from ending up in a landfill. This bottle can be reused for many more refills, further minimizing waste.
