Strengthening community access to affordable essentials.
Raglan Refill aims to be an affordable option which both helps to address the cost-of-living crisis, as well as make an important contribution to waste minimisation, and greenhouse gas reduction.
Strengthening community access to affordable essentials, reducing reliance on fragile supply chains, and contributing to a more prepared and self-reliant Raglan are all part of Raglan Refill’s core long term aims.

Raglan Refill expands to larger premises this Labour Weekend
Raglan Refill is on the move. The week before Labour Weekend, the community-run social enterprise will open its doors at the former Trade Aid store on Bow Street. The larger premises will make room for more of the affordable, eco-friendly products locals have been asking for.
Embracing the Reusable Raglan movement, Raglan Refill offers a wide selection of pantry basics and cleaning products – all without packaging. Shop manager Eloise Deller says the move is a direct response to customer demand.

Community comes together for new refillery.
If you’ve heard whispers about an exciting new bulk store soon to be launched in Whāingaroa, it’s not just a rumour – get ready to dust off your jars!
And when the Raglan Refill crew say “Think Global, Act Local,” you know they mean business.
“Even though the health of our planet is central to our new venture, with our focus on package-free products, there are many other benefits it will bring to our community,” says crew member Davian Lorson.
