From Yorkshire to Your Home: Celebrating World Refill Day with Miniml 🎉♻️
Today’s the day! It’s World Refill Day, and we’re buzzing with excitement to celebrate YOU, the incredible community powering the UK’s refill revolution. Because this isn’t just about bottles; it’s about rethinking the way we clean, care, and live on this beautiful planet. 🌍
Back in 2020, Miniml was nothing more than a big idea in a tiny corner of the Yorkshire Dales. Emma & Scott started Miniml from their garage, dreaming of a world where eco-friendly didn’t mean boring beige labels and lifeless scents.
We wanted to reimagine cleaning with a different kind of sparkle:
💧 non-toxic ingredients,
♻️ refillable bottles,
🌱 formulas gentle on skin, home, and the planet...
✨ and they smell absolutely incredible, too.
Fast Forward to Today…
Miniml is now part of a nationwide refill movement, stocked in over 2,000 refill and health stores across the UK. But it didn’t happen overnight.
Miniml began to grow thanks to the support of passionate independent refill shops, who shared our belief that cleaning should be kind to people and the planet. Their support helped us scale rapidly, reaching more homes, high streets, and businesses than we ever imagined.
Today, Miniml is proud to be one of the leading zero-waste brands in the UK, available:
🛒 directly through our website,
📦 via online retailers,
🏪 and most importantly through our highly valued network of independent stockists.
And here’s something we’re especially proud of: we’re the only brand in the UK that accepts 5L jerry can refills back, so they can be professionally cleaned, refilled, and reused again and again. No waste. No fuss. Just a smart, circular system that truly works.
Thanks to this closed-loop refill system, we’re saving over 17.5 tonnes of plastic every year, which is more than 1 million bottles staying out of landfill and staying in use. 🙌
How Our Closed-Loop Refill System Works ♻️
Here’s how you can get involved and keep the loop going:
✅ Return your empties. Whether it’s a 1L refill pouch or a 5L jerry can, you can send your empty packaging back to us for free.
🎥 Just head to our closed loop system page to watch our step-by-step video on how to return your refills. It’s super simple.
📍Want to refill locally? You can find your nearest Miniml stockist here.
Once your empties reach our warehouse, they’re put through our in-house cleaning tanks, specially designed to get your pouches and jerry cans sparkling clean and ready to be refilled and reused.
Every time you refill a bottle or return a pouch or jerry can, you’re helping reduce waste, conserve resources, and keep packaging in use for as long as possible. That’s the power of circular thinking. 💡
Refill with our stockists.
Refill at home.
