SYDNEY, Sept. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Refilled is a new Sydney-based climate tech start-up that launched this week with two Australian customers — The University of Technology Sydney and The University of Sydney Union (USU). Refilled is on a mission to eliminate the colossal single-use plastic bottle waste caused by the $44bn vending industry, by replacing as many of these machines as possible with their new BYO-Bottle system. The company hopes to capitalise on the dominant trend of reusable bottles, a market now worth $14bn, by giving people more flavour variety and nutritional options than just plain water on tap. Its 'Refillers' are a cross between a fridge and giant SodaStream. They offer chilled still and sparkling drinks in a range of flavours with the ability to add optional boosters such as caffeine, vitamins, and exercise-focused nootropics.

Key Points:

Refilled is on a mission to eliminate the colossal single-use plastic bottle waste caused by the $44bn vending industry, by replacing as many of these machines as possible with their new BYO-Bottle system.
More than 891 billion single-use plastic bottles are produced worldwide every year and less than 20% are ever recycled, which makes vending machines a major source of plastic pollution.
Refilled is on track to build and install 100 Refillers by 2024, which would eliminate upwards of 1 million single-use plastic bottles from ending up in our environment or landfills every year.
If we can replace even a fraction of drink vending machines, which are an outrageous source of plastic waste, we will stop millions of plastic bottles going to landfills."

Recycled Plastic Content Pledges by Coca-Cola and Pepsi Won’t Save the Oceans

WASHINGTON, May 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A new study commissioned by Oceana has exposed the weakness of plastic recycled content pledges by giants like The Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo. The analysis, conducted by Eunomia Research & Consulting, found that if the top five beverage companies meet their pledges – and it’s far from certain that they will – these pledges would only reduce aquatic pollution from single-use plastic bottles by 7%. In response, Oceana is calling on major beverage companies to adopt or expand strategies that prioritize refillable bottles.

Key Points:

WASHINGTON, May 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A new study commissioned by Oceana has exposed the weakness of plastic recycled content pledges by giants like The Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo.
It seems improbable that the recycled content pledges by large soft drink companies will be met and regardless, they wont go far in helping the oceans, said Dr. Dana Miller, Oceanas Strategic Initiatives Director.
Adding more recycled content doesnt stop a single-use plastic bottle from reaching the seas, but replacing that bottle with one that will be reused does.
Miller added, Leading soft drink brands need to stop distracting consumers concerned about ocean plastic pollution with pledges about recycled content.

Key Points:

The announcement was made during the companys Fourth Quarter 2021 Earnings Call and supports its World Without Waste environmental program.
We hope this means well soon see refillable bottles in major markets where they essentially dont exist, like the United States.
Today, refillable bottles are still popular in some markets but are not easily available in the U.S., Europe, or other western and Asian markets.
The best way to stop plastic bottles from polluting the oceans is to replace them with refillable bottles.

This is potentially big news for the oceans, said Matt Littlejohn, Senior Vice President of Oceana.

Key Points:

This is potentially big news for the oceans, said Matt Littlejohn, Senior Vice President of Oceana.
Coca-Cola is already selling billions of refillable bottles around the world and can quickly and dramatically increase the share of refillables (and ensure that billions of single-use plastic bottles do not pollute the seas).
Refillable bottles are multi-use bottles that beverage companies sell with deposits, collect post-use, wash, refill, and sell again.
Now, the company urgently needs to, as it has with its recycling and carbon commitments, step up and commit to annual reporting and measurable targets for increasing refillable bottles everywhere it can.
