Ecostore Refillery
Visit the Sustainability Centre's ecostore refillery
Set up as a social enterprise, the ecostore refillery is not about making profit. We try our hardest to make our prices the cheapest on the motu so making the transition to environmentally safe household and personal products is easy.
When to visit
We are open Monday to Friday from 9am - 4pm.
Where to find us
The refillery is located inside Waiheke Sustainability Centre at 1A Mako Street, Oneroa.
What we do
We sell new ecostore products and refill your containers. We are the only plastic return drop off point on Waiheke. If you are no longer reusing them, you can drop in your used containers and we send them back to ecostore where they are remade into new bottles.
Septic-safe products
Not everything that you find at the supermarket is safe for your septic system. Products like bleach harm the health microorganisms in your septic tank, so it's important to use the right cleaning, household and personal products.
We can help: the ecostore refillery provides you with septic-safe options. Ecostore's range is independently tested to make sure you can use them if you have a septic tank or grey water system.
Their products carry the Enviromark Diamond and CarboNZero certifications, and are cruelty free as well as GE child labour free.
