Cook Street Village’s newest kids on the block are here to make incorporating sustainability in your daily lifestyle even more easy and accessible.

Saunter down to the bottom of Cook Street and you’ll find ASH Refillery & Co.’s bright and welcoming storefront, open from 11am to 6pm to fulfill all your refill, low-waste, and plastic-free home and personal care needs.

Since opening their shop early this summer, ASH Refillery & Co. has been helping locals in their low-waste journey by carrying package-reduced products that meet their 3E criteria: effective, environmental, and ethical. Customers have the option to shop in-store or place their orders online. ASH Refillery & Co. will deliver locally or ship everywhere else in Canada.

They also run a very engaging and educational Instagram account, where they often talk about switching to low-waste, highlight the sustainable brands they carry, and give their followers behind-the-scenes access to the exciting things that happen in their shop daily. Their IG Stories are not only thoughtfully created, they also often feature rotating promotions on their products as well as fun giveaways.

ASH Refillery & Co. carries an array of home and personal care products that are local and Canadian-made, including their own line, Elements by ASH. Whether you are just starting out on your low-waste journey or are already a pro in reusing, repurposing, and refilling, you are bound to find what you need and perhaps even discover some new delightful brands and products. Here are some that have caught our eye:

Vegan food wraps in different sizes

Zero waste bowl covers that come in different diameters and designs

Package-free shampoo bars

Vegan, non-toxic nail polish line

Refillable face scrubs

House-made candles (yes, they refill candles too!)

Tasters, we definitely recommend visiting ASH Refillery & Co. the next time you’re in Cook Street Village. We hope this post gets you excited to get started on your low-waste journey, or encourages you to keep fighting the good fight!
