Yesterday I went to Migros Schönbühl for the first time to fill my 3 5-liter bottles with Dishwashing Plus and Total detergent at the filling station. I came from Fribourg to support the Migros pilot project. Unfortunately, I was totally disappointed when I realized that this was not possible at all. I was not allowed to refill my bottles from home but only to fill new plastic bottles from Migros with a certain code or to buy the already filled bottles with Plus and Total from the shelves. For me, the project is not sustainable until I am forced to support the production of plastic as a client. After a long conversation with a Migros employee, I left the store frustrated with my empty bottles. Today I refilled the bottles in a zero waste store. What a shame! I'm waiting for Migros to make the filling stations available to its loyal customers in a truly sustainable way. Still a loyal customer

Hello MoniaG, thank you for your contribution. For safety reasons, we are required by law to declare information on ingredients, application information, warnings, etc. when selling detergents and cleaning agents. This information is printed on the relevant bottles and is intended to ensure the careful handling and correct use of these products. For this reason, detergents and cleaning agents may only be filled into the bottles intended for this purpose and labeled with the correct declarations. Kind regards, Luisa

Hey Luisa, that would also work with some kind of label printer, wouldn't it? Then you wouldn't need the specific bottles anymore :)

That's what I thought too. Ultimately, it's about the product information, the quantity information and the code that could be applied to the label, and not about the bottle itself. Perhaps the pilot project should be given more legal consideration.

Hello MigrosMe, thank you very much for your suggestion. I will be happy to inform you about our latest findings: At the moment, we have not yet found a system that can print labels large enough to accommodate all the legal information (ingredients, warnings and instructions for use, production code, etc.). It is also important to ensure that there can be no confusion between the individual items. Assuming that someone fills the detergent into an empty PET bottle and someone else accidentally drinks from it, we would currently be liable for this. Nevertheless, we are aiming for such a labeling device in the future. However, this will take a little more time. Kind regards, Tabea

Dear MoniaG, here is a small addendum. Of course it is possible to bring an empty, clean and dry bottle of the same product with you to fill it. Or have you had other experiences? Best regards, Tabea

Hey Tabea, it's certainly technically feasible, I'm curious :) I wasn't aware of the adhesion thing, but it makes perfect sense. The label has to be on the bottle for some reason^^
