Reduce, reuse … refill? Some stores are offering products without the packaging
With less than 10% of all plastic being recycled in the U.S., some stores are offering consumers a way to change the recycling equation by selling refillable products in reusable containers. Customers bring their own reusable containers to these so-called “refill stations,” fill them with a product — shampoo or lotion, for example — and pay by the ounce.
