THUNDER BAY -- Conversations about the love for the environment and the evils of plastics in the backyard for more than 25 years for the sisters, Jen Mitchell and Sarah Blando led to the establishment of The Refill Co. The sisters, as environment aficionados, spent years learning about waste, encouraging everyone to follow the three Rs in life: Recycle, Recycle, Recycle. However, they acknowledged a broader issue when they realized that only nine per cent are recycled.
Bulk refineries were present all over Canada, and upon researching different brands, and manufacturers, the sisters were nearing their goal of establishing a refill store for the bath body and home products. The Refill Co. aims to provide a sustainable line of products for the local community in Thunder Bay and surrounding areas. “We wanted to create zero waste products for the people in the community and provide products which would be package free for those opting for the refills. Our main goal is to provide products which can be swapped for zero waste in people’s homes,” Blando said.
“We are blown away by the reception we got from the local community here. Even online, there is a strong push for going local, which is encouraging us to grow. We thought COVID will be an obstacle, but since we were in Murillo, people were glad to head outdoors for a drive and pick up the products,” she said.
