DescriptionAt Mrs Martin’s we offer refills and concentrates, and make it possible for you to return used containers!Reusing plastic containers isn’t just a trivial action; it’s a significant stride toward environmental sustainability. When you return empty plastic containers, you reduce the need for producing new plastics, thereby cutting down on the extraction of fossil fuels and lowering carbon emissions. This action saves energy and resources, leading to less pollution and waste in our landfills and oceans.Moreover, many plastics can take centuries to decompose, causing severe harm to wildlife and ecosystems. By participating in the reuse cycle, you help decrease the plastic waste that clutters our planet and strangles marine life.Overall, your seemingly small effort can create a positive ripple effect, encouraging others to follow suit and fostering a culture of environmental responsibility. This, in turn, supports the development of a circular economy, where materials are continuously reused and recycled.So, every time you return a plastic container, remember that you’re not just disposing of an item—you’re contributing to a healthier, more sustainable future for our planet.How to return used containers the sustainable wayThe couriers charge us their usual price for picking up your bottles, and the price depends on many factors such as size of parcel and distance transported. For ease of use we decided to charge you a flat rate (a fraction of the real cost), and we carry the rest. In order to keep this service sustainable, we would appreciate your help as set out below, to keep cost down.Please put all containers into one parcel as we pay per item.We recommend that you keep the box from the previous order and pack the empty bottles into that. In this way even the box gets reused!Please do not use a loose bag. If you do use a bag, please tape the containers together (see picture). The scanners pick up uneven packaging and automatically thinks it is a bigger parcel.Much as we would like to solve the plastic problem created by other companies as well, at the moment we can only reasonably accept back our own containers. Please do not send back any other empty containers.We thank you for being a responsible consumer!
