Refill Newcastle
Developed by the Romans, the city grew in the 14th Century as part of the wool trade industry and coal mining. In the 16th Century the city became famous for its port and shipbuilding and repaid centres. Today, Newcastle is the largest city in the north-east, and the eighth largest urban area in the UK.
Eliminating single-use plastic
A Refill Scheme can help a city massively reduce its plastic waste, while saving its inhabitants money and keeping them healthy and hydrated too. With the River Tyne at the heart of our city, and the beautiful Northumberland coastline so close by, we need to work together to protect our oceans from plastic pollution. Eliminating the need for single use plastic water bottles through a water Refill Scheme is the perfect place to start!
If you’re looking to start a Refill Scheme, we’ve got a guide to help you get started.
Who is behind the Scheme?
This Refill Scheme is currently inactive. We would like to welcome anyone within the area who has an interest in restarting the scheme to contact us with any queries at [email protected]. We would love to hear from you so together we can help your community continue to power the Refill Revolution!
Getting involved is easy!
If you’ve got a great idea about getting involved in your local scheme, or you want to set up your own Refill Scheme, we’d love to have you on board.
