There is a
global call from environment advocates to urge multinational companies and
leading brands of consumer goods to lessen use of plastics in their product
packaging by refilling. It is yet to happen.
However, a
local brand called SABON EXPRESS, has joined the global reuse and refill
revolution to spur a transition to a plastic-free future. Its founder and
Chairman, Mellany Zambrano, believes it is time to shift consumer
behavior and habits when it comes to buying household products.
SABON
EXPRESS, an innovative consumer goods brand and franchisable store chain, is
paving the way for locally manufactured liquid soaps and detergents to have
strong foothold in the market with its first-of-its-kind mechanized and
automated ‘sabon’ refilling stations that allow consumers to have a refill of
highly essential and consumable household products like dishwashing liquid,
laundry detergent, fabric conditioner, liquid hand soap, car shampoo, reusing
their own bottles and containers – in a hygienic way.
SABON EXPRESS
dubbed as The Refill Authority, is trailblazing a more appropriate way
of sabon refilling – one that does not require the ‘tindera” to use “tabo” or
dipper to fetch products from the drum to manually refill bottles, which is a
current practice of most local sabon refilling stores in the country. Said
manual process potentially contaminates products and makes refilling messy and
unhygienic. Sabon Express recently launched its liquid soap dispensing unit at
the ZeroWaste Bazaar in Uptown Mall BGC Taguig last July 18-21 – as the
first and only automated and hygienic sabon refilling station in the country.
The Zero
Waste Bazaar is in celebration of Plastic-Free July, a collaborative event of
Ecowaste Coalition of the Philippines, Greenpeace Philippines, Mother Earth
Foundation, Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives, Health Care Without
Harm together with Break Free from Plastic, Oceana Philippines International,
and Megaworld Lifestyle Malls. It showcased a photo exhibit and bazaar
featuring art and eco-friendly stores to make plastic-free Pilipinas a reality.
SABON
EXPRESS strongly advocates for “a world with less plastic” by promoting the
reuse of plastic containers for household products via its conceptual and
innovative hygienic ‘sabon’ refill dispensing unit in all its stores which
comes in both manual and automated machines – a game changer in the local
‘sabon’ refilling industry.
With a
vision to serve the country’s increasingly demanding market at scale, Sabon
Express is committed to continuous research and development and is being
assisted by the Department of Science and Technology’s Industrial Technology
Development Institute (DOST-ITDI) for further product development, technical
advancement and good manufacturing technology and processes.
“At Sabon
Express, we are always looking for ways to innovate in order to serve our
consumers better and to help save the environment in our own little way because
our business is advocacy-driven”, says Mellany Zambrano.
