A plastics firm in Bangor has become the latest company to join NI Water's Refillution campaign.

The campaign is aimed at encouraging everyone to commit to refilling a reusable water bottle with tap water and stop buying single use plastic bottles.

Northern Ireland uses 145 million single use plastic bottles every year. By switching to a reusable bottle, people can help turn the tide in reducing plastic waste.

Welcoming Denroy to the campaign, NI Water's Head of Environmental Regulation, Angela Halpenny said: "We are delighted to see Denroy come on board with NI Water's Refillution campaign and we are hopeful that other businesses will also get involved. We are asking everyone to ditch single use plastic water bottles and switch to a reusable one that can be refilled from the tap!"

David Dickson, Operations Manager at Denroy, added: "It's great that Denroy is taking an active part in reducing single use plastics by joining NI Water's Refillution. This fits perfectly with Denroy's strategy of working towards full recycling of all internal plastic waste and our commitment to eliminate single use plastics in our Denman brand hairbrushes by 2020. It also helps us promote a healthier workplace, which is a win-win for everyone."
