FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
REFILL INSTEAD
Reducing Plastic Use through Refillable Mason Jars.
Official Launch Date: April 9th
2016
KELOWNA,
BC – Unless Market, one of downtown
Kelowna’s newest, funkiest retail outlets featuring locally-made and
environmentally friendly products, is proud to be officially launching their
Refill Instead Program.
Refill Instead provides
consumers the option to buy common household products in mason jars and refill
their existing containers rather than buying a new plastic container. A deposit is added to the mason jars to
encourage people to bring them back. When an empty jar is returned, it can be exchanged for a full one at a
reduced rate - rewarding the customer for making a difference and refilling
instead.
All the products of the
refill program are made by local artisans who share the vision of Unless Market
- “It’s time to change the way we shop”. The products are free of SLS, parabens,
formaldehyde, gluten, phosphate, petroleum, tricolsan, fragrance and dyes. The list is long but it is important to
Unless Market that they are not only reducing the use of plastic but providing
clean natural products to their clients.
To start, the following
products will be available via the refill instead program. Herbal
shampoo, Unscented
shampoo, Body
wash, Bath
salts, Hand
soap, Foaming
hand soap, Dish
soap, Laundry
soap and Kitchen
and bath cleaner.
The refill instead program is not just of residential households. Unless Market hopes that local businesses will join the program and reduce their environmental impact through the products they use.
To celebrate the
official launch of the refill instead program, Unless Market will be putting
the names of anyone who joins the refill program on April 9th 2016
into a draw for a chance to win one free year of refills. See store for details.

The Unless Market
was founded by Sarah Coffey to support the buy local
movement and provide consumers with a centrally-located store that offers a
wide variety of items, from clothing to GF vegan "just add water" baking mixes.
