Refill is a British environmental campaign that connects people to places they can eat, drink and shop with less plastic.[1] Using a location based app, Refill provides a network of points offering the public freetap water in the UK.[2] The network comprises high street retailers, cafes, restaurants, other businesses, museums, and local authorities.[2][3] The campaign aims to preventwaste created bysingle-useplastic water bottles, as well as increasing the availability of qualitydrinking water.[4]
The idea for Refill came from Natalie Fee, who set up thecommunity interest company City to Sea in order to launch Refill in Bristol in 2015.[5] City to Sea continues to organise it.[2][3][6]
People can either use a dedicated smartphone app to find Refill points, or look for signs outside participating organisations.[4][6][7]
As of March 2018 there were 5700 Refill points and it continues to be developed.[2] All establishments of Neal's Yard Remedies,[3] Costa Coffee,[6][7] Premier Inn,[6][7] Starbucks[8] and Pret a Manger[8] are participating.
