KIELO

The problem of plastic waste has multiplied during the recent years. Among other products, cosmetic and personal care products are often heavily over-packaged, the main material used is plastic and they are difficult to reuse or recycle. “Kielo”- container range and refill system provide elegant containers to be reused and refilled with easy and waste-free refill service. Kielo, Lily of the valley in Finnish, refers to the design’s inspiration of the Nordic nature and simplicity.
