The Refill Hvar initiative is a forward-thinking environmental project aimed at reducing single-use plastic bottles on Hvar Island, Croatia.

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 – Dalmatians Islands Environment Foundation, thanks to funding received from Conservation Collective through their Depeche Mode & Hublot partnership during the Memento Mori world tour.
