The short answer is: Yes! Send them to us in an email or on social media.

Why don't you have perfume-free products?

This is something we want to offer and which we are working to be able to offer in the long term.

Here we have to test and explore a part of how we solve it.

The container

What is a På(fyll) container?

A På(fyll) container is a reusable container (0.9 l and 2 l) with a screw cap. In this article you can read more about the design and the idea behind the container.

We are building a system that makes it possible to use the containers for many years to come.

What is the container made of?

The container itself is made of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) while the cap is made of Polypropylene (PP).

How do you fill the På(fyll) container?

Our bottling line can be adapted to the sizes and needs that we have, depending on how much demand there is for the product.

These large cans are sent to be washed and reused in an industrial system, allá the EUR-pallet system.

Dispenser

What can be used as a dispenser?

In everyday life, we recommend that you use smaller bottles that you already have, for example a hand soap dispenser.

You simply pour the contents of the På(fyll) container into smaller dispensers that you can have standing in front of you.

In the winter of 2023/2024, we will be able to offer På(fyll) dispensers.

What is a perpetual dispenser?

We call them perpetual dispensers because they have been developed with all aspects in mind throughout the life cycle of the dispensers.

We already have the infrastructure that makes it easy to deliver and pick up goods at your home.

Here you can read more about the idea behind our På(fyll) dispensers

What are the dispensers made of?

Our dispensers are made from the same material as our På(fyll) container.

What kind of dispensers can I buy from På(fyll)?
    We have developed 5 different dispensers.
    • Squeeze bottle: A dispenser perfect for shower soap or shampoo.
    • Spray bottle: Can be used for cleaning agents such as Klar kitchen spray or other cleaning agents you want in a spray bottle.
    • Spray bottle: A dispenser perfect for washing-up liquid such as Klar and Zalo.
    • Dosing bottle: This dispenser is intended for use with liquid detergents for washing clothes, such as OMO, Klar and Milo.
    • Soap dispenser: Our soap dispenser is a pump bottle for hand soap, such as Lano and Klar.
What are the labels of the dispensers made of?

The labels are also made of polyethylene. The ones we are testing now are actually in a recycled quality of this material. Polyethylene is a good material to recycle with the dispenser bottles as they are made of the same material.

The dispenser was broken, what do I do now?

Sometimes things break. If this happens, contact us by email and we will help you. Our dispensers and the system we have established enable us to replace parts that break. This means that it is functionally not necessary for you to buy a new dispenser.

We are continuously working on ways to make the service even better and more environmentally friendly.

In this way, we do not burden the environment any further.
