Sustainability at Respray
At Respray, we believe in
Refillability. We at Respray created the World’s first refillable deodorant solution, by providing an in-store refill station as a service, thereby enabling customers to reuse their spray packaging multiple times.
Circularity. Sustainability has been at the core of our business since the beginning of our journey. We believe that the time of single-use products is over, and for a greener future, we need to implement circularity by design.
Revolution. With our refill station, we aim to revolutionize the aerosol market, encourage and enhance our partners’ sustainability journey, enable our customers to choose environmentally friendly products, and raise awareness about the necessity of closing the loop.

Emission summary
In the case of deodorants, the carbon footprint of our solution is one-fifth as large as that of an average product. While the emission of an average deodorant is around 612.4 g CO2e, with our solution it is only 121.76 g CO2e. This is possible partially because we are using the most sustainable spray cans in the world.

We contribute to the 12th Sustainable Development Goal, sustainable consumption and production, mainly by reducing material consumption and increasing the recycling rate. We are also trying to publish as much data about our impact as we can, as well as educate and encourage especially the younger generations to live a more sustainable lifestyle and to embark on an entrepreneurial journey.
By putting a more sustainable product in stores, we are raising awareness of the problems with some of the widely used products, making customers rethink their purchases, and inspiring partners and competitors to innovate for a greener future. By making the spray cans refillable, we reuse our packaging multiple times, thereby elongating their lifecycle.
Lastly, by making sure that our cans get recycled at the end of their life, we are closing the loop, resulting in a circular design. Our longer term growth is also supported by the changing EU regulations trying to reduce waste and enhance circularity, for example, a recent proposal for a regulation on packaging and packaging waste, amending Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 and Directive (EU) 2019/904, and repealing Directive 94/62/EC which proposal included the following: “From 1 January 2030, final distributors with an area, excluding all storage and dispatch areas, of more than 400m2 shall endeavour to dedicate 10% of their sales area to Refill Stations for both food and non-food products.”
