Your bottle forever

At Miniml, we have designed an infinitely reusable packaging process designed to combat plastic waste at every stage on the supply chain. Our refill containers are designed to be returned to Miniml HQ to be cleaned and re-used again and again...and again!

Refilling made easy

What Can I Return?

You can return either 4 x 5 litre refill containers or 4 x 1 litre refill containers

What happens when the containers when they are returned?

At Miniml HQ we have a large industrial washer to clean and re-use empty containers, they are then put back into production to use again and again!

What are the 1L Pouches made of?

They are both made from a multi-layer plastic (PET & PP). 'Why?' you ask! This is because pure plastic increases both the strength and durability of the refills as they have essentially been designed to be reused over and over again. The reason we haven’t used Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) material is that the pouch wouldn’t be as strong or durable so wouldn’t last as long in our closed loop process. As well as this we are using a non-thermal sanitation process which involves UVC light and this wouldn’t be compatible with PCR materials as they can contain impurities that can be impacted by the UVC light.

How are the pouches cleaned and sanitised?

The pouches will be cleaned and sanitised via non-thermal sanitation process as the material is flexible and not as durable as our other HDPE 5L and 20L refills. This further reduces the degradation of the material compared with chemical or heated sanitation processes allowing for the longevity of the pouch within our closed loop system.
