Affordable zero-waste cleaning refills, right at the market.
EcoRefill is a mobile refill station bringing plastic-free household cleaning products to local farmers markets. We offer a curated range of eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaners—including all-purpose spray, dish soap, laundry detergent, and more—in bulk, allowing customers to refill their own reusable containers. Our service eliminates single-use plastic packaging and reduces the carbon footprint of cleaning. As a part-time venture, we set up market stalls on weekends, providing personalized advice on zero-waste home practices, product selection, and DIY tips. With minimal inventory investment (concentrated bulk liquids and reusable bottles), low overhead, and flexible scheduling, EcoRefill caters to the growing demand for convenient, sustainable living solutions. We build community through education and trust, turning routine purchases into an eco-conscious experience that aligns with the values of our target market.
The zero-waste movement is surging as consumers reject single-use plastics; local markets are hubs for eco-minded shoppers seeking convenient, package-free alternatives that align with their values.

Average transaction of $15–25, with high repeat visits driving lifetime value. Margins are strong due to bulk concentrate purchasing.
