Mobile refilling business aims to reduce plastic packaging waste
A van goes to customers’ homes in Vancouver loaded with household products they can purchase to refill their own reusable containers

A low-waste refillery van travels around Vancouver to deliver refill services for personal and household products.
The founder, Karim Alothmani, said that its “one-direction” route planning helps reduce waste instead of having clients visiting a refill store by making back-and-forth trips.
Despite rising consumer consciousness about zero-waste or sustainable lifestyles, he said the business still faces challenges attracting customers.
“We’re making progress,” Alothmani said. “It’s the small things that matter.”
