Problem: People run out of basics (soap, shampoo, detergent, cooking oil, etc.) and rush to buy new plastic bottles every time → waste of money, plastic, and effort.
Solution: A network of smart refill stations placed in apartments, campuses, and local stores.
Customers bring their own reusable containers.
Scan QR code → choose product & quantity.
Pay digitally, refill instantly.
Tech Angle: IoT-enabled dispenser tracks usage, prevents spillage, and sends alerts when stock runs low.
Market Gaps:
Current refill options are rare, limited to niche eco-stores.
No tech-driven, convenient system for students, hostels, and busy professionals.
Most sustainability solutions focus only on recycling, not on reducing single-use plastics at source.
Who Benefits:
Students & working professionals: Save time + money on small, frequent purchases.
Retailers: Cut packaging costs and attract eco-conscious customers.
Community & Environment: Huge reduction in plastic waste.
Why It Matters to Me:
I’ve seen my hostel dump dozens of shampoo/detergent bottles every week.
Small changes at campus/community level can scale massively if made convenient.
It connects with my interest in tech + sustainability → solving a real problem I live with daily.
