REFILL NOT LANDFILL

Our tins last a very long time...

Like the pebble we found on the beach, we want Millstone tins to endure time and create their own unique stories.

Despite being 100% recyclable, we encourage you to reuse our tins over and over. Whether you use them to store buttons, or more appropriately our refill pouches, we know you will benefit greatly. 

Celebrating the beauty of imperfection, age, and natural wear. Just like the pebble we found on the beach that inspired our tins, smoothed and shaped by time, each tin takes on a unique character with use. Scratches, dents, and patina don’t diminish their value; instead, they enrich the tin’s story, making it more personal and meaningful over time.

Rather than being discarded, these tins are meant to be refilled and reused, embracing wabi-sabi’s principle of sustainability. Instead of constantly seeking something new, we encourage customers to appreciate what they already have, allowing their tins to evolve with them. Our refill pouches help reduce waste, ensuring that each tin serves a purpose far beyond its first use. What's more the empty inner pouch is made from 100% plant material and can be home composted and even buried in your garden where it will break down within six weeks.

By choosing to refill rather than replace, we honor the tradition of wabi-sabi, creating something lasting and meaningful. And as within, the tin itself becomes richer with age, holding not just flavours, but memories.
