Walgreens is also piloting an at-home delivery service using reusable containers and tote bags. Meanwhile, Dove has introduced body wash concentrates with refillable, reusable bottles. Consumers are taking notice, with 70% identifying as environmentally aware and 66% prioritising eco-friendly packaging. Petco offers innovative solutions like Kibble Refill Stations and kitty litter scoop stations for pet food and litter. Companies such as Loop by TerraCycle have been collaborating with major brands like Heinz and Häagen-Dazs to provide refillable packaging systems. The Body Shop also offers reusable metal bottles for select shampoo and body wash products, contributing to the growing trend. Retailers are increasingly exploring refillable packaging to meet corporate sustainability goals and consumer demand. Walmart's latest exploration is a testament to this shift, with consumers eager for more environmentally friendly options.
