Closed-Loop Shopping
We are lucky to partner with some amazing vendors who offer refill services or will take back their products to recycle or repurpose if damaged or no longer usable. This reduces the amount of waste going to the landfill, creating an almost "closed-loop" system for the products. For items that we take back you can drop off to us at our brick & mortar location or you can mail to:
If your Grosche product is damaged, most stainless steel products can be recycled via curbside recycling. However, Grosche does offer full take-back at end of life for all products and will separate and recycle all parts as appropriate. Find their contact information here.
