Our Story
Our story has started with asking the right questions;
What if, people protect nature whilst snacking nutritiously?
What if, we create refillable tins full of healthy and dried fruits as a snack?
What if, we reduce plastic wastage with these refillable tins and refill biodegradable bags?
Re-Fruit Me is based on these ideas. We would like to change some bad habits, like wasting too much plastic and eating unhealthy snacks. So we created products which are respectful to nature and the human body.
HOW DID THIS IDEA COME OUT?
One day, I had dinner with my friend and I ordered many unhealthy foods as I used to do. She noticedthat I don’t eat very healthily. I was warned by her and she said “your body is not a bin, choose what you eat. You’re young now and you might not feel that you are doing any wrong, however, in future, you may regret, so be careful!”
These words never go away from my mind and after this conversation, I have removed all of the junk food from my kitchen and began to eat more nutritious foods. After a while, I noticed some changes in my body and my life completely changed. I started to pay attention to every product in the market and I have seen many products which are not healthy for my body and health. It was very hard to find nutritious and healthy snacks day by day. Another issue that I paid attention to, is that most products are single-use which is wrapped with plastic. This was annoying for me. I concluded that the products I bought were not healthy for my body and they are a harm to the environment.
These factors bothered to me so much that I have begun to create my own snack boxes which are carriable and refillable. I fill them with all my favourite healthy foods like dried fruits and nuts. Thanks to these boxes, I reduce my plastic consumption and expose myself to real foods. After a while, all my friends realized that I carry my own snack boxes and sometimes they ask me to make them their own snack boxes too.
After some time, my best friend and I created Re-Fruit Me for achieving a healthy lifestyle, without harming the environment (even contributing to nature). Our aim is to feed our bodies with the honest and real foods, as well as reduce plastic waste to make a clean world for the future.
We love nature.
We love our bodies.
We love food.
Thanks to these ideas - our motto is - "Re-fill your tin, Reduce your bin!" for the great future.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
