Reuse-Refill-Restore

Why REco Store is Your Go-To Refill Store for Sustainable Living?
Our planet is at a pivotal moment. Every day, we hear about the impact of waste on our ecosystems, particularly the harm caused by single-use plastics. From polluting our oceans to filling up landfills, plastic waste is a growing crisis. The solution lies in changing our buying habits, and refill stores like REco Store are here to help you make more sustainable, eco-conscious choices.

Why Choose a Refill Store?

Refill stores offer a simple yet powerful way to reduce waste and live more sustainably. When you shop at a refill store, you’re opting out of the traditional, waste-heavy shopping experience, where products are encased in layers of single-use packaging. Instead, you bring your own containers, fill them with only what you need, and skip the unnecessary packaging entirely. This reduces the demand for plastic, cuts down on waste, and allows you to take control of how much product you buy—saving both money and resources.
At REco Store, we believe that sustainable living should be accessible to everyone. We understand that convenience and affordability are essential, which is why we offer a wide range of earth-friendly products at competitive prices. By shopping package-free at our refill store, you can reduce your environmental footprint without breaking the bank.

About Me

Elise

I am the proud owner of REco Store. I come from a background in fashion design, and I’ve also taught and created art — but the wellbeing of our planet has always been at the heart of my life. I can thank my forward-thinking Mum and Nan for that. Back in the 70s, I was already being introduced to Greenpeace, animal rights, the pollution crisis, and even worm composts!

Today, that early influence continues to shape everything I do. At REco Store, I’m supported by a team of dedicated eco-warriors who share the same mission: to reduce our carbon footprints and make sustainable living simple, inspiring, and accessible.

Single-Use Plastics: A Global Problem

One of the key issues driving the need for refill stores is the prevalence of single-use plastics. These are the plastic bottles, wrappers, bags, and containers designed for one-time use before being thrown away. Unfortunately, much of this plastic ends up in landfills or the environment, where it takes hundreds, if not thousands, of years to break down.

Many people assume that plastic waste is recycled, but the reality is that a significant portion of it isn’t. In fact, only around 9% of plastic is recycled globally, while the rest piles up in landfills or is incinerated, contributing to pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. This is why switching to a refill store model can make such a difference. By refilling your own containers and cutting out single-use plastic, you’re helping to break this cycle of waste and reduce your personal environmental impact.

REco Store: A Refill Store Committed to Sustainability

At REco Store, we don’t just talk about sustainability—we live and breathe it. We’re proud to be a refill store that prioritizes eco-friendly products and sustainable sourcing. We understand that the environmental impact of the products we sell extends beyond what’s inside the packaging. That’s why we’re always looking for ways to improve, whether that’s by sourcing more local products, working with suppliers to reduce or eliminate packaging, or implementing closed-loop supply systems.

Closed-loop supply systems are a cornerstone of our mission. This means we work with our suppliers to take back and reuse packaging wherever possible, creating a cycle of reuse rather than disposal. By supporting businesses that embrace this model, you’re not only reducing your waste but also contributing to a more circular economy—one where resources are reused rather than discarded.

Supporting Local and Sustainable Businesses

We believe that change starts at the community level. That’s why REco Store prioritizes sourcing locally whenever possible. By partnering with local farmers, artisans, and suppliers, we can reduce transportation emissions and support businesses that share our commitment to sustainability. When you shop at a refill store like ours, you’re supporting local economies and encouraging more sustainable practices in your own community.

Not only does local sourcing benefit the environment, but it also allows us to offer fresher, higher-quality products. Whether you’re filling up on grains, spices, cleaning supplies, or personal care products, you can trust that everything at REco Store has been carefully chosen with both people and the planet in mind.
