More than just a soap-dispensing machine, the Blue Box is an automated refilling station for laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, and fabric conditioner. Its impact reaches far beyond convenience — it offers a simple, eco-conscious solution that helps families save money while reducing plastic waste.
Reducing Waste, One Refill at a Time
The Blue Box encourages the reuse of plastic bottles by allowing customers to bring their own containers and refill household cleaning products for as low as ₱5, ₱10, or ₱20, using coins, both old and new.“In the Philippines, sachet culture has become the norm. But that convenience comes at a cost,” said Zambrano. “We created the Blue Box to change that, to give people an easier, cheaper, and more sustainable way to buy what they need.”
This innovation comes at a time when the country generates around 60 billion plastic sachets a year, according to environmental groups. The Blue Box aims to reduce that number by promoting refill culture, one household at a time.
Empowering Everyday Filipinos
The Blue Box was officially launched during the 24th Anniversary of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology Beneficiaries Association Inc. (BJMPBAI). Through a strategic partnership, Sabon Express is now offering BJMPBAI members the chance to own and operate their own Blue Box units at a discounted rate.Fifteen units were immediately pre-ordered during the launch, with members able to access business loans to fund their new venture.
“This innovation is not just for consumers — it’s also a livelihood opportunity,” Zambrano explained. “For someone looking to start a small business with low overhead and high demand, the Blue Box is a smart and scalable option.”
A Storefront for Sustainability
By integrating the Blue Box into both physical store locations and community spaces, Sabon Express is also helping normalize the act of refilling, turning it into part of daily life. The company envisions a future where refilling is as routine as going to the market.In addition to savings and sustainability, the Blue Box brings convenience and control to the user. With five easy steps:
1. Bring a bottle2. Choose your product3. Choose the amount4. Insert coins,5. refill and go
It offers a dignified, no-waste way to access daily essentials.
