With every person needing 1.2 litres of water a day and over 8.2 million people in London this means that over 10 million litres of drinkable fluid needs be supplied every day. However, the increasingly 'on-the-go' lifestyle of many people means that the number of bottled beverages sold has been steadily rising over the years, with most bottles thrown away when they are still fully functional as a product for containing and transporting liquids.

‘London Refilled’ is a project about positioning previously used bottles in London and offering them for reuse as a more sustainable alternative to the purchasing of beverages in newly formed bottles each time. By instilling trust in life-cycles of products that allow the reuse of materials without necessarily having to go through the process of destroying and reforming, this system would help to reduce energy and resource consumption whilst still allowing large populations of people to stay hydrated throughout their day.
