World Refill Day returns for 2023

World Refill Day is a global day of action to prevent plastic pollution and help people live with less waste.  This year we’re reimagining the future and working to accelerate the transition away from single-use plastic and towards a circular future where reuse & refill are the norm.

Together with our partners and supporters around the world, we’re building a global movement, inspiring action and demonstrating that the world is ready for a refill and reuse revolution.

On June 16th, we’ll be encouraging everyone to choose to reuse, making one small change to their everyday routine and reducing single-use plastic. We’ll also be launching the first ‘Global Reuse Summit – a free platform for change-makers, business leaders, policy makers and innovators to learn, share and be inspired, helping to reimagine the future we want and need to see.

Last year’s World Refill Day had its biggest impact to date, with more than 80 countries participating, over 400 organisations signing our open letter to the biggest plastic polluters, 400+ pieces of media coverage (reaching an estimated 1 billion people) and 100 million people reached via the hashtag #WorldRefillDay.
