With elegant swirl,
The wine glass almost empty,
Time for a refill.

"That's your fourth coffee." The rookie eyed his boss.

"And?" The detective wiped his moustache.

"Wouldn't it be cheaper to go for the bottomless cup?"

"Clearly that's a scam."

"How come?"

"Lad, if the cup has no bottom, how do they #refill it?"

the chain oil we sell at #punkan is confirmed #vegan and #crueltyfree by the manifacturer.

we only sell dry lube, so you have to use it more often, but your chain won't be filled with sticky black gunk.

remember: for a discount and to reduce waste, bring your own empty container for #refill.

Zero-Waste #RefillStations want you to rethink what a trip to the store looks like

By Jessica Roy | Assistant Editor, Utility Journalism
Aug. 23, 2023

"In L.A., most of us have some experience purchasing things by weight. Nuts and dried fruit at Sprouts. Last-minute meals from the hot bar at Whole Foods. Weed at the weed store.

"At a growing number of places around #LosAngeles, there’s a new category of bulk products: personal care and home cleaning items such as hand soap, moisturizer, toothpaste tabs, shampoo, laundry pods and all-purpose cleaner.

"They’re called refill stations. Almost all of them are woman-owned small businesses. And they all want you to rethink what a trip to the store looks like.

"Here’s how it works: You bring your own containers from home. Glass or plastic are OK, as long as they’re clean. If you forget them, stores offer a few options for sale. Many also have a basket of donated jars from other customers that you can use.

"An employee will weigh your container and mark that number, known as the tare. Fill up with as much or as little of a product as you want, then bring it back to be weighed again and pay for what you bought. It’s a great way to sample new products and reduce the amount of plastic packaging you consume."

@MaQuest I love this idea! There are a few refill cafes in New England. I'll have to look them up!

Erste fachliche Vorlage im #osrat ist zur sinnvollen Verbesserung beim #Hitzeschutz in #Osnabrück . Wir unterstützen das und ergänzen um das Wiederaufleben der #Refill Möglichkeit sowie Verbesserungen rund um Einrichtungen, die oft von Älteren genutzt werden. Auch der Vorschlag von der Linken für Rasengittersteine statt Versiegelung passt gut dazu.

Hey #Inkjet #printer people.
What's your preferred #refill supplier?
Have a brother MFC, and in the market for some more refills. Had one a couple of years ago for like 10€ or something. Anything above that, with higher quality, or just stick to the cheapest?

@Parker51 Occasionally I also use #inkcartridges, especially when I'm not at home. However, I take the empty cartridges home to wash out and #refill them. Again and again as often as possible.

But I much prefer converters and #ink glasses at my desk at home. :wink:

Simple things bring us pleasure. Our old soap dispenser pump died, and we couldn't find another spring, but then we found a soap dispenser washed up from floods last year, we've cleaned and repurposed it, got a free soap dispenser and took one more bit of plastic out of the environment! Win win. #reuse #refill

He couldn't find the research from the #OECD sited. Source for curiosity?
