Ethical cleaning company Bio-D has reported a 100 per cent increase in sales of its refill products over the last year.

Bio-D, based in Hull, has spent 2019 focused on increasing the number of products available in refill sizes.

The company recently added 5L refills of bathroom cleaner, lavender scented washing-up liquid and glass and mirror cleaner to its range.

The range of refills are available at selected independent stores across the country, which provide refill stations to further reduce plastic waste.

This means that customers can continue to refill a single bottle multiple times, rather than buying a new one once empty.

Bio-D’s sales increase is a sign that people across the º£½ÇÊÓƵ are taking notice of the effect that single-use plastics are having on the environment, and attempting to reduce their individual impact on the planet.

Lloyd Atkin, managing director at Bio-D, said: “One of our main values as an eco-friendly business is to help reduce waste in any way possible, so it’s brilliant to see that sales of our refill bottles have increased so significantly.

“Climate change is a topic very much at the forefront of everyone’s mind, and it’s great that people are taking notice and making an effort to help reduce their carbon footprint.
