About Flo’s Refill Shop:
Our aim is to help local people to reduce plastic waste at the same time as investing in local community initiatives. The money raised through Flo’s Refill Shop will go towards supporting our community projects.
We sell unpackaged staple foods from Infinity Foods and SESI refill detergents (for washing dishes, clothes, and humans) and some environmentally sound baby products. Our products are sold by weight or volume, which means you can buy exactly what you want, and bring back the empty container for more!
