Project Summary
fulFILL is a sustainable enterprise that aims to combat the waste epidemic by revolutionizing the way we consume common household products. Customers order products (shampoo, lotion, soap, etc.) on our website (www.fulfillgoods.co), place their empty reusable containers on their doorsteps, and fulFILL refills them. fulFILL empowers residents to reuse containers by providing an affordable and convenient option for using and purchasing common household items.
fulFILL will assist in community sustainability efforts in three key ways:
- Waste: containers are reused, decreasing raw materials used and subsequent waste sent to landfills.
- Emissions: less packaging results in reduction of energy use and subsequently GHG emissions associated with the manufacturing and recycling processes.
- Access: by purchasing products in bulk, fulFILL can sell many items at lower cost, thereby engaging persons of all economic statuses in sustainability efforts.
