Home - REFILL. NOT LANDFILL.

WHO WE ARE

Anchorage’s first “unpackaged” mom-and-mom old-world refillery market. We provide convenient eco-friendly grocery, household and personal care choices for conscious consumers who wish to minimize waste, shop locally, give back and eliminate single-use plastics. A community-centered social enterprise, we give 1% back every day and feature locally made products.

TRANSPARENT

We do the research so you don’t have to! We are transparent about who our vendors are and how our products are made. We vet and label all of our products, and rate them based on our Blue Market Standard of sustainable, humanitarian, community-minded practices.
We are also honest about the waste that we can’t avoid.

SUSTAINABLE

We offer creative sustainable options for purchasing items with re-usable, repurposed, and recycled containers (new, from our "containers lending library," or from your kitchen).
Our Refillery Supports:
Refuse
Reduce
Reuse
Repurpose
