Personal Care Refill Solutions

Zero Co Unveils its New Paper-Based Refill System

— September 3, 2024 — Eco
Australian company Zero Co has taken a bold new direction with the launch of ForeverFill, an innovative paper-based refill system. Touted as a world-first, this system aims to dramatically reduce single-use plastic waste without requiring customers to return empty pouches.

The Forever Bottle is the central component of this system—a reusable, highly durable container made entirely from 100% recycled PET (rPET). This bottle is designed to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing, with a clear base that showcases the color and consistency of the refill inside and a sturdy, opaque shoulder available in three distinct color options. The shoulder houses the pump and is made from recycled polypropylene (rPP).

Zero Co’s promise of longevity is embodied in the Forever Bottle’s design, which the company guarantees for life.

The innovation doesn’t stop at the bottle itself. The ForeverFill refill system utilizes a paper-based composite structure, which Zero Co describes as a major advancement in packaging technology.
