Top 10 Questions about our Refills Answered
As we have been meeting customers and doing refills, some questions come up very often. Here is a rundown of the most frequently asked questions…
Q: Where are the refill products manufactured?
A: Orca and Bee has partnered with Miniml, a Yorkshire based cleaning and personal care manufacturer who share our values of zero waste by creating natural, eco-friendly formulations and use a closed loop system (where the containers that are used for stocking their products get sent back to them and reused) so there is no unnecessary plastic waste.
Q: What type of products do you refill?
A: We offer refills of home cleaning solutions such as laundry liquid, fabric conditioner, dishwashing liquid, anti-bacterial spray, floor cleaner, toilet cleaner, as well as personal care like liquid hand soap, shampoo and conditioner. At the moment, we stock Miniml products which are vegan, cruelty free, zero waste and British manufactured.
Q: Why refill when I can buy from the store or online?
A: Here are a few reasons but we could go on and on…
- Refills reduce the amount of plastic waste going to the landfill
- At an average cost of £1.30 per refill, its cheaper to refill than buy from a large manufacturer
- We come to you, so it is easy and convenient to refill too
- All our refill products are cruelty free, vegan and zero waste
- You would be supporting a local business and British made products
