Deposit and Refill Scheme
PLASTIC-FREE AND PROUDHow it works
Choose a refillable candle from our range of scents. Once empty, the jar can be refilled again and again.
Customers in Stockport pay a £2 deposit for a glass candle jar, which is included in the initial price. This is to reduce waste and promote a circular economy in our town.
If you decide you don’t want a refill when your candle is finished, simply return the jar to us undamaged for your deposit back, or keep it for use at home and forfeit the deposit.
If you decide you do want a refill, in any of the scents offered in the refillable candle range, we’ll bring a fresh candle when we pick up your empty jar. We offer free delivery and pick up over £15 in the following Stockport post code areas: SK1, SK2, SK3, SK4, SK5, SK6, SK7 and SK8.
Why it works
The Ecopia refill scheme isn’t only good for the planet, it’s good for people, too.
We’re a tiny independent venture. Every time you choose to refill with Ecopia, you’re supporting real people – not big business.
We use premium quality glass jars for our refillable candles, complete with natural cork lids. A lot of energy is involved in the recycling of glass – by reusing jars instead of recycling them, our customers are reducing their carbon footprint, which is better for the planet.
In the future, we plan to introduce refillable candles we can post out – this will mean changing to a different jar that a refill can slide into. Our current jars are tulip-shaped, so this isn’t possible just yet, which is why we only offer refillable candles in Stockport at present.
