Aiming to reduce single-use packaging, Evergreen Garden Care is driving innovation for reuse and refill concepts within the gardening industry – launching two industry-first refill stations across the UK.
The first refill station launched on the 10th of May in the Rivendell Garden Centre in Notcutts, Warrington allows consumers to purchase Tomorite straight from the machine.
First-time users can purchase a 1L bottle of Tomorite (£5.49) or an empty 1L Tomorite bottle for life (£1). Once the first bottle is purchased, consumers thereafter are encouraged to re-use it, allowing them to only pay for the liquid refill (£3.99). These returning customers will not only be reducing packaging but also benefiting from savings of £1 each time they opt for the refill station instead of the on-shelf pack.
The second station launched on the 18th of May at the British Garden Centre Groups PlayHatch store near Reading and focuses on Miracle-Gro grass seed and granular plant food. The stand allows consumers to purchase as much grass seed (99p per 100G) or controlled release plant food (67p per 100g) as they need – again, allowing consumers to save money by only purchasing what they intend to use. Contrary to the Tomorite station where a Tomorite-specific bottle is required, this station will allow users the options to either purchase a Miracle-Gro jar for life (£1.25), use a free paper bag, or bring their own preferred container to fill.
Evergreen Garden Care will be displaying a refill station at Glee, for users to see and test them out for themselves.
Stand Number : 20C40-D41
