Thank you for another delivery from Sesi Detergent

Thank you for another delivery from Sesi Detergent Refill
.
Did you know ?
.
SESI is helping reuse and refill over TWO MILLION pieces of packaging a year!!!

We’re proud they have developed products that are:

✅ Vegan

✅ Cruelty Free

✅ Biodegradable

All products are Manufactured for SESI by an independent family firm in the UK.

Here is a little more about the company and will help you see why we think they are a great company:

“We are a social enterprise based in Oxfordshire which supplies sustainable detergents to shops, farmers markets, cooperatives and charity organisations. When we started we used to run a delivery service mainly to primary school parents, so we were called School Ethical Supplies Initiative - quite a mouthful! As we evolved we kept the name SESI, as some say it's catchy! SESI Refill helps reduce people’s plastic footprint. With the surge of Zero Waste Shops and other established retailers changing to become unpackaged shops, SESI has a key role as a provider of ethical detergents which help everyone to become part of a circular economy. We have been lucky enough to be a valued alternative to those seeking to reduce food waste and cut their plastic footprint. As a social enterprise, we re-inject funds into broadening our product list and branching out to create new partnerships and Refill Stations. Our focus is not profit, it’s to do good.”
