SIGN UP TO REFILL ISLE OF WIGHT
Island businesses
are signing up to support Refill Isle of Wight – a scheme that makes it easy
for people to fill up with tap water while out and about, rather than buying
water in a single-use bottle. And if you have a cold water tap and can
offer free tap water – it is easy for your business or organisation to join
them!
People looking for
tap water can find their nearest Refill station using a free phone app. They
can also look out for the distinctive blue Refill sticker in the windows of
participating businesses – making it clear they are welcome to pop in and
refill their water bottle for free.
Refill was launched
nationally by Bristol-based organisation City to Sea in 2015 and Refill Isle of
Wight is being rolled out by Planet Aware, with the support of Southern Water.
The scheme has a wealth of benefits including reducing potential litter and
plastic pollution, saving people money and helping them stay healthy and
hydrated.
You can find more information on Refill Isle of Wight on the website planetaware.co.uk –
under ‘our projects’ and about Refill at www.refill.org.uk.
If you would like to sign up your business or organisation to Refill
Isle of Wight please do email plasticawareiow@gmail.com or
fill out a form on the website.
