Plastic Reduction and Access to Water

Refill instead of buying new: less single-use plastic at the source.

The Program at a Glance

Since February 2025, families in Nicaragua have been able to refill their existing bottles with shampoo and cleaning products, so no new plastic is needed.
The high participation shows that refill systems are an effective approach to reducing plastic waste.
