Refill Inverclyde
Greenock, the home of inventor James Watt, used to be a hub of activity and industry and wealth during the Victorian era. The banks of the river Clyde were full of shipyards and factories. However, in the intervening years, all bar one of the shipyards have closed, along with most of the factories and the area is trying to reinvent itself, becoming a cruise port for tourists and the base for Amazon distribution centre.
Helping the Community
The scheme will help our community save money, keep healthy and save the planet from plastic waste. Inverclyde is one of the most deprived places in the UK, with a high rate of purchase of sugary drinks and below average mortality rates. It is also a focus for the CCF Upstream Battle, preventing plastic waste such as water bottles from reaching the Clyde river and then the marine environment.
If you’re looking to start a Refill Scheme, we’ve got a guide to help you get started.
