ABOUT MISSION REFILL
Living your best eco life shouldn’t be hard.
That's why Mission Refill offers you an easy and convenient way to bring sustainable living home.
HOW IT WORKS
Bring any empty container and fill it up with over fifty commonly purchased household goods. If you’re in a rush, use our grab-and-go bottle swap to exchange empty glass bottles for filled ones. Plus, shop from hundreds of curated items that come in sustainable plastic-free, recyclable, or compostable packaging.
We pride ourselves on creating a space that’s friendly to both the eco-warriors and the eco-curious. No judgment, just less packaging.
OUR CORE VALUES
- Simplicity. Reducing waste should be as easy as creating it.
- Community. The local Goleta and Santa Barbara community is our key stakeholder.
- Transparency. We have nothing to hide.
- Empathy. Sustainable living is hard. We get that and we’re here to help.
- Optimism: We can make a difference if we try.
