Refill Program 

 Our Refill Programs do reduce plastic waste…DOWN EAST and its parent company Bebbington Industries, have been safely reusing single-use plastic containers for over 25 years. During this time we have substituted over 12,000 - 20 L single-use plastic containers with previously used containers and reused over 50,000 - 4 L single-use bottles. This has prevented over 20 tons of HDPE plastic (approximately 10 large truckloads) from being sent to local landfills, or for recycling. As a result of our container reuse programs, we were presented with an award for Pollution Prevention by the CCME (Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment)
