Why Plastic-Free July Matters & How You Can Make an Impact

What is Plastic-Free July?

Plastic-Free July is a global movement that encourages millions of people to reduce their reliance on single-use plastics. Founded in 2011 by the Plastic Free Foundation, the initiative has grown to inspire individuals, communities, and businesses to take meaningful steps towards a cleaner, more sustainable planet.

At Refillism, we believe that every small change adds up. Choosing sustainable products over single-use plastic is one of the simplest yet most impactful ways to reduce waste and protect our environment.

Why It Matters:

Did you know that:

• 300 million tons of plastic are produced globally each year, with half designed to be used just once and thrown away?
• 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans annually, harming marine life and polluting ecosystems?
• Less than 10% of plastic is ever recycled, leaving the rest in landfills and waterways for hundreds of years?

Choosing reusables and refillable products isn't just a trend, it’s a necessary shift towards sustainable living. By participating in Plastic-Free July, you join a community of millions committed to making better choices for our planet.
