A local brand called Sabon Express makes sabon refilling possible for Filipinos.
There is a global call from environment advocates to urge multinational
companies and leading brands of consumer goods to lessen the 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 Makes Soap Refilling Possible
Get to know Sabon Express
Sabon Express, an innovative consumer goods brand and franchisable store
chain, is paving the way for locally manufactured liquid soaps and detergents
to have a 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.
The said manual process potentially contaminates products and makes refilling
messy and unhygienic. Sabon Express recently launched its liquid soap
dispensing unit at the Zero Waste 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.
Advocating for a world with less plastic
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.
