Pour it up for less plastic

 

By providing accessible public water sources and educating both locals and tourists about the benefits of using tap water, the "Refill Hvar" project seeks to instill sustainable habits, protect local ecosystems, and reduce the impact of plastic waste on marine and terrestrial habitats. 

 

Refill Hvar – Pour It Up For Less Plastic is supported by DIEF – Dalmatian Islands Environment Foundation, thanks to funding received from Conservation Collective through their Depeche Mode & Hublot partnership during the Memento Mori world tour.

About us

The Refill Hvar initiative is a forward-thinking environmental project aimed at reducing single-use plastic bottles on Hvar Island, Croatia. Launched in January 2025 and set to run until January 2027, the project is spearheaded by the Moj Škoj Association in collaboration with the Association Sunce, the Municipality of Jelsa, and the Jelsa Tourist Board.

Through our educational initiatives and installation of public refill station, we aim to create a positive impact on the environment and inspire others to join us in the fight against plastic pollution.
