Creating a Refill + Reuse Product

Real change comes from regular conversations over coffee or at the dinner table – not from the Boardroom. When conversation turns to collaboration – that’s when the real magic happens.

In 2015 Lindsey McCoy had reached a pivotal point in her own part in contributing to plastic pollution.

Living on the island of the Bahamas for 10 years, she saw first hand how plastic really has no graveyard and that recycling is not the answer. And she had enough.

In trying to reduce her own waste, Lindsey and her sister Alison inadvertently came up with a new structure for the personal care industry – a refill based line of products – that can be accessed anywhere in the US saving over 386,000 plastic bottles to date from going into the landfill or oceans.

In this episode Lindsey McCoy, Co-Founder of Plaine Products explains how she and her sister Alison created a refill and reuse personal care line simply because we need it and that we cannot expect corporations to do it for us.
