A refillery is a store where you can refill your everyday household and personal care products instead of buying a new plastic bottle every time. Simply bring in your clean, empty containers and refill them with the amount you need. At Pūrpour Refillery + Boutique, you'll find refillable cleaning products, laundry soap, dish soap, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and more. It's an easy way to reduce single-use plastic, save packaging, and make more sustainable choices without sacrificing quality.

Refilling is simple. Bring your clean, empty container to the store, and we'll weigh it before you shop. Fill it with your favourite products, then we'll weigh it again at checkout so you only pay for the product inside. If you don't have a container yet, we also offer pre-filled bottles and reusable containers for purchase or donated and refill again and again.

Not at all. While we encourage customers to reuse containers they already have at home, it's not required. We offer reusable bottles and jars for purchase and from donations, along with a selection of pre-filled products ready to take home. Once you've finished the product, simply wash the container and bring it back for a refill.

Choosing refillable products is one of the easiest ways to reduce household waste. Instead of throwing away plastic bottles every time you run out, you simply refill the same container again and again. It's a simple habit that helps reduce plastic waste, lowers packaging consumption, and supports a more sustainable way of living without changing your everyday routine.

The amount varies depending on your household, but even refilling a few everyday products like hand soap, dish soap, laundry detergent, and shampoo can prevent dozens of plastic bottles from ending up in landfills each year. Small changes really do add up over time.
