The circular economy is a sustainable vision for the world where materials used in products and packaging are recycled and reused continuously, rather than ending up in landfills. Recycling has been a key component of the circular economy for decades, but according to Michaela Barnett, founder of Knoxfill, it has its limitations. In a recent article for The Conversation, she argues that the traditional three Rs – reduce, reuse, and recycle – are not enough to achieve a truly circular economy.

Michaela’s solution to the recycling dilemma is Knoxfill, a retail store in Knoxville, Tennessee, that offers refillable and sustainably made products for hair care, home cleaning, skincare, and the kitchen. By providing local delivery and a “mobile refillery,” Knoxfill makes it easy for consumers to reduce their plastic consumption and carbon emissions by refilling rather than buying new products.

The team at Knoxfill focuses on keeping the supply chain short by using local products and avoiding national shipping. This approach not only reduces waste but also minimizes the environmental impact of daily consumer habits. By offering refill options and promoting a culture of reuse, Knoxfill is pioneering a new way of thinking about waste management and sustainability.

To find refill options in your area and start reducing your environmental impact, websites like Litterless and Refillery Collective offer directories of local refill stations. By making small changes in our purchasing habits, we can all contribute to a more sustainable future.

So, next time you need to restock your household essentials, consider visiting a refill station like Knoxfill or exploring other local refill options. Together, we can work towards a truly circular economy that benefits both the planet and future generations.
