Core Range of Products
Everything included in one package
From opening stock and reusable bottles to setup, pupil engagement and termly support, we provide the practical elements needed to establish and run the shop — not just a set of instructions.
-
Five 20L Fill Refill containers with taps. One for each product in the core range.
-
Fifty reusable glass bottles. Five boxes of ten, with 50 screw caps, 40 pumps and 10 trigger sprays.
-
Shop essentials. Scales, supplier posters, a tote bag, compostable sponges and plastic-free delivery.
-
Practical setup. Support to organise the shop, train the school team and prepare for launch.
-
A supported first year. Three half-day visits, termly stock reviews, usage-led refills and help to build a lasting school routine.
What the school provides: A suitable table or display surface, secure product storage, a named adult lead, appropriate supervision and the day-to-day operation of the shop.
Support across the year
Termly visits and a shop with a purpose. The project can support Maths, PSHE, Geography, Science and enterprise learning, while developing communication, stock-control and pupil-leadership skills through a real activity.
The Stages
Autumn
Launch & Setup
Set up the shop, train the school team and deliver an introductory assembly or pupil session.
Spring
Review & Engage
Review early sales and stock, provide education and awareness, and make practical improvements.
Summer
Build Momentum
Follow-up pupil activity, review outcomes and help the school plan how the shop continues.
Built Around the Eco Grant Objectives
The programme goes beyond awareness and documentation: pupils, staff and families take practical action throughout the school year, while the school gathers evidence of environmental and social impact.
01
Reduce Carbon Waste
Refill replaces repeated purchases of single-use product bottles and reduces packaging entering the waste stream.
03
Build Skills and Confidence
Pupils can help promote and operate the shop, learning communication, enterprise, stock control and decision-making.
05
Impact
The school records litres dispensed, refills completed, participation, activities and income reinvested.
02
Prioritise reduction and reuse
Reusable glass bottles and bulk 20L containers create an everyday reuse system rather than a recycling-only activity.
04
Change Everyday Behaviour
Three terms of engagement give families repeated opportunities to adopt refill habits at school and at home.
06
Future
Designed to continue beyond the grant. The school retains the shop equipment, bottles, operating knowledge and sales income.
Delivered in Collaboration
Good Refills. A sustainable cleaning and hygiene products distributor, Good Refills helps organisations reduce plastic waste by replacing single-use bottles with refill systems. Good Refills operates a closed-loop system — reusable containers are delivered, collected and refilled, so no plastic waste enters the cycle. Good Refills is the school's main programme contact and supplies the Fill Refill product range.
The Good Life. A sustainable refill store with shops in Stockport and Altrincham, The Good Life helps local communities shop for everyday household and personal care products without single-use plastic. The Good Life delivers the hands-on setup, assembly talks, pupil education and awareness activity.
