Ecoworks offers an innovative solution to combat single-use plastic waste through our automated refill stations. These stations dispense eco-friendly home care products such as laundry detergent, surface cleaner, and dishwashing liquid. Designed to encourage sustainable living, our stations allow consumers to refill their existing containers instead of purchasing new plastic bottles, reducing plastic waste at its source.

Our product combines convenience, environmental impact, and technology. Each station is equipped with user-friendly interfaces and operates autonomously, allowing consumers to easily access refills in high-traffic locations like HDB estates, community centers, and malls. The refill process is efficient and seamless, encouraging everyday participation in sustainability efforts.
