Excitement builds ahead of the opening of Sage Parmar’s refill & recycle centre in the old Surbiton Glass shop opposite KFC in Brighton Road on Wednesday (World Refill Day). Customers will be given goody bags containing lots of lovely treats to mark the occasion.

The plastic-free zero waste centre and health store is the next step on Sage’s meteoric journey since she burst on to the scene in March 2019 with Sage’s Health Store in Brighton Road.

Her latest venture next door (in the old Surbiton Glass shop by the zebra crossing) eliminates packaging waste.

It’s hello to machines that make peanut, hazelnut, almond or cashew butter, refillable make-up in bamboo containers, bring-your-own-bottle milk, oils, vinegars and cleaning liquids.

The old shop will sell organic fruit & veg and be her online HQ.
