Plastic pollution is a growing global crisis, with single-use plastics causing severe environmental damage. While
plastic remains a convenient and affordable material, its excessive use, especially in disposable containers, has led to serious waste issues. Finding sustainable solutions that fit into our daily lives is more important than ever. This is where UFill comes in. As an innovative refillable liquid vending machine, UFill is transforming how people consume household liquids. Instead of purchasing new plastic bottles every time, users can simply refill their existing containers, cutting down on waste and promoting a greener lifestyle. After successful installations at Fort Railway Station, apartments, and commercial spaces, UFill is now making its way to Maradana Railway Station, one of Colombo’s busiest transit hubs.

A Smart, Sustainable Choice for Commuters
Maradana Railway Station is a key transport point in Colombo, serving thousands of passengers every day.
Whether you’re rushing to work, heading home, or traveling for leisure, convenience is essential. With the new UFill refill station at Maradana, commuters can now refill their household liquids while on the go, saving time, money and reducing plastic waste. This new installation is more than just a refill station; it’s a step towards a more sustainable way of living. High foot traffic makes Maradana the perfect location to introduce this eco-friendly alternative. Instead of constantly buying new bottles, commuters now have an accessible option to refill and reuse, encouraging a shift toward more environmentally responsible habits.
How Does UFill Work?
The UFill machine is designed for ease and efficiency, making the refill process quick, clean, and hassle-free. Here’s how simple it is:

Refilling is a better solution than recycling as it promotes upcycling. Upcycling is the process of creatively
repurposing existing materials, such as used containers and packaging, into more valuable and sustainable
solutions without significant reprocessing. When considering the challenges of collecting and recycling, achieving sustainability would require daily beach cleanups and plastic collection campaigns. Since upcycling is the most efficient and innovative trend, UFill stands out as the ideal solution. UFill, South Asia’s first liquid vending machine, features advanced drip-free technology, specially designed by Vega. This groundbreaking initiative is further strengthened through a strategic partnership with Unilever, showcasing a shared commitment to sustainability and environmental innovation. Upcycling helps reduce waste, conserve resources, and promote sustainability by extending the life cycle of materials in innovative ways. In the context of UFill, upcycling refers to refilling and reusing containers instead of discarding them, reducing plastic waste and promoting a circular economy.
UFill’s Impact Driving Sustainability and Awareness
Beyond providing a convenient refilling solution, UFill plays a crucial role in educating and influencing sustainable behavior. Every refill contributes to lower plastic production, reducing carbon footprints. It minimizes waste, preventing plastic pollution in oceans and landfills. It promotes sustainable habits, reinforcing the importance of reuse over single-use plastics.
As part of its mission, UFill actively collaborates with local businesses, sustainability initiatives, and international organizations to expand its reach. With the backing of USAID Sri Lanka, Unilever Sri Lanka, and Vega Innovations, UFill is accelerating its goal of making sustainable refilling solutions the norm.

The introduction of UFill at Maradana Railway Station, one of Colombo’s busiest transit hubs, aligns with Sri Lanka’s growing push toward sustainability.
