World Refill Day is a global movement encouraging individuals, businesses, and communities to take action against plastic pollution by choosing to reuse and refill instead of relying on single-use plastics. This impactful annual event aims to inspire positive change and highlight simple solutions for a cleaner, healthier planet.

What is World Refill Day?

World Refill Day is an international awareness campaign dedicated to reducing plastic waste by championing the refill and reuse revolution. The day encourages everyone to make small changes in their daily routines—such as refilling water bottles, coffee cups, and containers—instead of buying disposable alternatives. The focus is on empowering people to be part of the solution and promoting accessible alternatives to single-use plastics.

When is World Refill Day?

World Refill Day takes place every year on June 16th. In 2025, this inspiring day falls on Monday, June 16th. It’s the perfect opportunity for individuals, organizations, and communities worldwide to come together and take practical steps towards reducing plastic waste.

Why is World Refill Day Important?

Single-use plastics are a major environmental concern, polluting oceans, harming wildlife, and contributing to climate change. By encouraging the use of refillable and reusable products, World Refill Day helps decrease the demand for disposable plastics. This not only conserves resources but also supports a circular economy, where materials are reused and waste is minimized. Every refill counts towards protecting our planet for future generations.
