Join the Refill Revolution
Saving the world one bottle at a time
Save money, stay hydrated and Stop plastic pollution
Refill is our award-winning campaign to prevent plastic pollution by making it easier to reuse and refill your bottle on the go than buy a single-use plastic bottle. We started the campaign waaaaay back in 2015, as a pilot in our home city Bristol. Fast forward a few years and Refill is now a global revolution, empowering people all over the world to live with less plastic.
The concept is super simple – we’re connecting thirsty people with free drinking water via a location-based app. Participating cafes, bars, restaurants, banks, galleries, museums and other businesses simply sign up to the Refill app and put a sticker in their window – letting passers-by know that they’re welcome to come on in and fill up their bottle.

Taking Refill to the next level
With a soaring global population living on a planet that’s not getting any bigger, ‘single-use’ stuff is just going to keep draining Earth’s resources – whether that’s plastic, aluminium or even cardboard. We’re working on plans to take the app to the next level and you’ll soon be able to use it to find it to refill your coffee cup, lunchbox, groceries, cleaning products and even toiletries.
