With 91% of plastic unrecycled, refilling replaces single-use packaging

Designing for refilling

Single-use packaging is a major contributor to global waste, highlighting the need for refilling systems as a sustainable alternative. At FLEX/design, we develop innovative solutions that make refilling accessible and attractive for both businesses and consumers. From professional refill stations to bag-in-box systems and at-home refill designs with precise dosing, our solutions provide practical alternatives to single-use plastics while encouraging more conscious consumption.
