Refill Colwyn
We are working with Refill Cymru with the aim of reducing single use plastic in the Bay of Colwyn.
Currently, less than 30% of people in the UK drink tap water in a reusable bottle, despite the fact that we are lucky to have some of the best quality, free drinking water in the world.
Refill makes refilling a reusable water bottle easy, fun and more socially acceptable than buying a single-use plastic drinks bottle. The aim is to stop millions of plastic bottles at source each year, preventing plastic pollution from entering our rivers and sea.
We’re on a mission to inspire social change in the Bay of Colwyn
