Refill is a British environmental campaign that connects people to places they can eat, drink and shop with less plastic. [1] Using a free location based app, Refill provides a network of points offering the public free tap water in the UK. [2] The network comprises high street retailers, cafes, restaurants, other businesses, museums, and local authorities.
