What Is a Refill Store?
The Zero-Waste Shopping Concept
A refill store is a place where you can bring your own containers and refill household products like dish soap, laundry detergent, shampoo, hand soap, body lotion, and more. At Greenbriar Market’s Calgary location, we’ve redefined how people shop by eliminating the need for single-use packaging.
By purchasing only what you need and using your own containers, you significantly cut down on packaging waste and overconsumption. Our store supports zero-waste practices with minimal environmental impact while offering affordable, high-quality products in bulk.
Why Choose Refill Shopping?
Refill shopping is more than a trend—it’s a long-term lifestyle choice. When you refill, you:
-
Reduce your environmental footprint
-
Save money by buying only the amount you need
-
Support local, eco-friendly businesses
-
Avoid unnecessary packaging waste
-
Choose natural and non-toxic products that are safe for your family
How Our Calgary Refillery Works
Bring Your Own Container
It starts simply—bring any clean, dry container from home. It can be glass, plastic, stainless steel, or silicone. We encourage reusing jars, bottles, or tubs that would otherwise go to waste.
Weigh and Fill
Upon arrival, we weigh your container while empty and record its tare weight. Then, you head over to our refillery stations and fill your container with as much or as little product as you’d like. Whether you need a full refill or just a small top-up, the flexibility is yours.
Pay By Weight
At checkout, we deduct your container’s weight and you pay only for the contents. No hidden fees, no wasteful packaging—just simple, sustainable shopping.

Join the Refill Revolution
Perfect for Individuals and Families
Anyone can benefit from refill shopping. Families often see a significant reduction in household waste, while individuals can save money and tailor their shopping habits to suit their needs. Whether you live in a small apartment or a busy family home, refill shopping fits into any lifestyle.
Reducing Plastic One Bottle at a Time
Did you know that the average Canadian throws away over 100 plastic bottles every year? By refilling instead of buying new, you’re directly contributing to a circular economy—an alternative to the throwaway model that keeps resources in use longer and out of the landfill.
Greenbriar Market’s refill store has already helped thousands of Calgary residents eliminate waste, reduce clutter, and shop more mindfully. Join us in our mission to create a cleaner city, one refill at a time.
