Zero Waste Starts Here
Welcome to IpohRefill, where we believe that unpackaging retail can transform the way we shop. The traditional retail experience has been centered around packaging: from the plastic wrap around a product to the branded shopping bags we carry out of the store. However, we believe that by removing unnecessary packaging, we can create a more sustainable and enjoyable shopping experience. By unpackaging retail, we are able to focus on the quality and value of themselves, while also reducing waste and minimizing our impact on the environment Join us as we explore the benefits of unpackaged retail and discover a new way to shop that is both ethical and fulfilling.
