After 4 & a half years at the Oat Float helm, I have decided the time is right to move on. It's been an absolute pleasure championing the in North Bristol and I'm really proud of what we have achieved within our community. A million thank yous to all of you who have supported the business over these years - I've got to know many of you personally and will miss you and your containers πŸ’š

Obviously I would love the business to continue in new hands so am putting Oat Float up for sale. If you, or someone you know, is interested in discussing the opportunity to take on the business please do get in touch. Everything is there for anyone wanting to be their own boss, be a valued member of the community and to do something POSITIVE!

Please share and let's find someone to be the next refill master (yes, I am claiming I'm a refill master - refilling thousands and thousands of containers earns you that title πŸ…)

Wonderful photos taken by www.alick.co.uk - thank you πŸ™Œ

Day 3 of Refill Return's to celebrate !

Here's a good refilling tip. For high use and IMPORTANT refills like Washing Up Liquid, consider having 2 bottles - that way when one runs out, you've got another ready to go, plus time to get the empty one refilled πŸ™Œ

And yes Matt is holding some rather lovely bottles from Fill Refill Co but actually the ones we refill the most are just the ones people have already - they last for ages and ages. Which is of course one of the reasons plastic causes so many issues to our environment... πŸ˜”

Why not make Washing Up Liquid today's swap?

Day 2 of Refill Return's to celebrate !

Out on our refill delivery round today we snapped this ice cream tub, now used for brown rice. I'm a bit of a container geek - these are great! The lids fit really well, they're sturdy and a useful size. Plus each time you reuse them, you're saying no to single-use soft plastic. Because, despite what the supermarkets tell us, soft plastic is REALLY hard to recycle, and much of it ends up being shipped overseas for other countries to deal with. Check out Everyday Plastic 's findings on this - here are the shocking headlines:

πŸ•΅οΈ 40 bundles of soft plastic packaging waste were tracked through take-back schemes across England over 12 months.

πŸ”₯ Of the tracked soft plastic packaging waste collected for recycling at Sainsbury's and Tesco stores, 70% of the soft plastic that reached a known destination was burnt, not recycled.

πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡· The rest ended up at recycling facilities that downcycle soft plastic waste into lower value products – the majority of which were in TΓΌrkiye.

⚠️ Environmental law NGO ClientEarth warns that the results of the investigation show that supermarket soft plastic take-back schemes are misleading customers.

So, keep hold of those ice cream tubs and join the ! Remember, this week is about celebrating small changes and doing it together πŸ’š

It's TODAY! This year we're supporting 's which is running all this week - for the next 5 days people are choosing to re-use and say no to single-use πŸ™Œ

Today we're bigging-up an old jam jar filled with nuts - no single-use plastic here 🀩

We know, it's a tiny thing. But this year's campaign is all about collective action. When we come together, small changes make a big difference and it's even more powerful when we all do it together πŸ’š

What's your swap?

HOT new refill available from the Oat Float! πŸ”₯

make the best hot sauces (and kimchi & krauts too) and we’re so excited to be able to offer a refill of their Deep Trouble fermented hot sauce πŸ™Œ

Handmade locally in BS6 in small batches, here’s the Deep Trouble blurb:

β€œRich with the fruity sweetness of sun-ripened mangoes & a hint of smoke from the chipotle. Especially good with cheese, perfect with grilled veg & the go-to dollop for anything barbecued.

Fermented hot sauces packed with vibrancy, flavour & gut nourishing nutrients. Made with fresh ingredients from local independent suppliers & preserved naturally with lactic acid produced during fermentation, they are some of the only vinegar-free hot sauces available in the UK.”

Add this to your Oat Float delivery order 😍

Also check out the full range over at - we had the kimchi recently and it is seriously gooooooooood!!
