World Refill Day is a global campaign to prevent plastic pollution and help people live with less waste. Along with their planet-protecting partners, and thousands of everyday activists around the world, the campaign organisers are calling on businesses, brands and governments to join the refill and reuse revolution and help make single-use plastic a thing of the past. As a global movement, we all have the power to create a wave of change. By choosing to reuse, we’re saving millions of pieces of plastic and sending a message to the rest of the world that the solutions to plastic pollution and the climate crisis are there – and together we can keep our environment, oceans, cities and communities plastic-free for the future.
Why do we need a refill revolution?
Our throwaway culture is polluting our planet and we need to turn off the tap when it comes to single-use plastic. Globally, we use millions of tonnes every year and it’s becoming clear that we can’t recycle our way out of our plastic problem. Plastic is not only polluting our planet, impacting communities around the world, and contributing to the climate crisis, but it’s making its way into our bodies through the air we breathe and the food we eat. We urgently need to shift from our disposable, single-use culture to a more sustainable, circular future, with reuse & refill at the centre.
What actions can we take?
- Choose to reuse – Make a small change to your daily routine and switch from single-use plastic to reuse.
- Find places to refill – There are thousands of places around the world to eat, drink and shop with less waste.

- Use your voice – Call out the biggest brands & polluters on social media and let them know we need them to act now.
How can Aqua Soft help?
It’s a well known fact that the UK gets through millions of plastic bottles of mineral water a day. Whilst cutting down on the water you drink is definitely not an option, you can still enjoy great tasting water without having to resort to buying bottled water. By using a Reverse Osmosis water filter in your home or a filtered water cooler machine in your workplace you can refill your cup or reusable water bottle as many times as you like with clear, clean, fresh water. Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a simple water filtration process which works by using pressure to force water through a semipermeable membrane in order to remove any impurities. The contaminants which are filtered out are flushed away and you are left with clean, great tasting drinking water, straight from your tap. We have a range of solutions for both homes and businesses. Take a look at our range of Reverse Osmosis drinking water filters or find out more about our water cooler options.
