Do you know that? You buy a nice bottle of hand soap, shampoo or all-purpose cleaner and when the bottle is empty you have to throw it in the trash... Eternally a shame! Fortunately, Marcel's Green Soap now also has more and more refill packages. You can read here why refill packaging is the future and which Marcel's Green Soap products you can refill.
Our plastic footprint
We at Marcel's Green Soap not only think it is important to find the best ingredients that are good for your home, skin and the environment. We also think it is important that the packaging of our products has as little impact on the environment as possible. Millions of plastic bottles end up in the environment every week. That has to change!
Two studies by an international team of scientists show that the growth of global plastic production is faster than what the world can collect in plastic waste.
“Reducing this flow of plastic waste could only be successful if the rapidly increasing production of newly manufactured plastic is slowed down.”
And that existing amount of plastic waste on the planet? This can be reduced using existing technologies. “This includes collecting and recycling waste, redesigning products to eliminate the use of non-recyclable plastics, expanding refill options and in some cases replacing existing materials. But solutions such as recycling (currently only 15% of plastics are reused in the Netherlands) would have to be expanded enormously.” High time for action!

100% recycled plastic
Marcel's Green Soap was the first brand in Western Europe with bottles made from 100% recycled plastic. By using these bottles, we collect more plastic than we use, which reduces the amount of plastic waste. But if we can ensure that those beautiful recycled bottles are also used for a lot longer, that is of course great. That's why you can now refill many of our products. At the bottom of this article you will find all refill packages of Marcel's Green Soap.
Why refill packs?
With refill packaging we can together reduce the enormous (plastic) waste flow. By using refill packaging, you can (with us) save up to 85% plastic compared to the bottle with the same content. This percentage is different for each product, because our products come in different bottles. On the refill packaging you will find the percentage of plastic you save.
Another advantage: you can use your stock for a lot longer. Together we save a lot of bottles and transport costs. And besides the fact that refills are better for the environment, they are also better for your wallet. Refill packs are cheaper. This way we ensure that we make refilling more accessible and attractive for everyone. Have you already started refilling your Marcel's Green Soap products?

Would you rather be plastic-free?
Would you rather not buy (recycled) plastic packaging at all? On the right track! Even then you can continue to use Marcel's Green Soap products. We also have a plastic-free line, consisting of a shampoo bar, body bar , conditioner bar, hand soap bar and deodorant . These products last 3 times longer than liquid products and the packaging is made of cardboard.
