Our Impact
Re-Fill to Re-Use
We operate the largest personal care re-fillery in Malaysia where we offer products via re-fill packs or they can come by and re-use their bottles to buy re-fills.
This way you save money on the packaging as well as prevent adding another bottle to the environment.
Bag-Buy-Back
In-store, we practise a packaging free policy where we do not offer any paper / plastic bags.
1. We are working with Penan Bags Europe, an NGO helping Penan ladies in Sarawak. We sell the bags that these native Penan ladies make and offer a 100% buy-back policy
2. We encourage and accept packaging donations which we will offer to customers in-store and use for our e-commerce orders.
Sustainable Packaging
We offer sustainable packaging options for consumers which customers have to pay for.
1. We need for e-commerce deliveries
2. Our primary objective is and always will be to promote the use of natural products, not a Zero-Waste store.
Currently, the packaging we use are :-
Recycled Corrugated Mailer Boxes [only for e-commerce], glass bottles, PET-Alu refill packs, aluminium refill cases, GAEMI wrap
Other Sustainability Projects
Kegerator Project
Getting a Kegerator to offer Kombucha on re-fill - Cost RM10K
To do this, we need to sell 2000 bottles of kombucha this year.
This will enable us to not sell kombucha in bottles and allow customers to come with their flasks, bottles and buy kombucha on demand.
Industrial Shredder
For fillers for e-commerce packages - RM12K
This will enable us to work with ana tomy and The Alphabet Press to convert some of their paper waste into packaging material.
To make this happen we need to generate around RM600-750K of sales for 2021 for us to have enough proceed to get it.
Recycling Drop-off Program
Seeking Volunteers to help
We wish to start a recycling drop-off centre at starting off at our store where people can consciously come in and put their waste into respective recycling bins and our volunteers can weekly help us bring these to a legitimate recycling centre (e.g. IPC) to ensure they get recycled correctly. To volunteer, please email us at hello@remedy.my
