From Landfill to Refill: How Our Gas Programme is Changing the Game

Let’s talk bubbles—but not the kind in your glass.
We’re talking about the kind that don’t disappear so easily: the carbon footprint of traditional sparkling water and gas refills.
At CO2 YOU, our mission has always been simple: sparkling water without the waste. That’s why we created our Gas Refill Programme—a system built to tackle waste at the source, and change how the UK thinks about CO2 cylinders altogether.
The Problem: What Happens to Empty Cylinders?
Across the UK, thousands of empty gas cylinders are discarded every week—especially by brands that offer no return or refill scheme.
Many of these cylinders end up collecting dust under the sink, gathering in garages, or worse, heading to landfill because customers have no idea what to do with them.
In short? The industry’s model is outdated. It’s disposable, inefficient, and definitely not sustainable.
The CO2 YOU Solution: Refill, Return, Repeat
Our Gas Refill Programme is built around one principle: circular convenience.
Here’s how it works:
1. You Subscribe
Sign up and receive 4 cylinders every 4 months, delivered next-day. That’s enough for most households to enjoy unlimited fizz, without ever running out.
2. You Bubble
Use your cylinders at your own pace. Each one makes up to 60L of sparkling water—perfect for daily sipping, cocktail-making, or family hydration.
3. We Collect
When your new cylinders arrive, we collect the empty ones from your doorstep—no labels, no drop-offs, no fuss.
4. We Refill
Your returned cylinders go straight to our Chelmsford-based facility—the UK’s largest purpose-built refill centre. They’re cleaned, tested, and refilled for reuse, ready for the next customer.
Why It Matters
Our refill programme isn’t just about convenience (though yes—it is super easy).
It’s about building a system that works for people and the planet.
💚 Better for the Environment
No single-use waste. No unnecessary transport. Just a closed-loop system that keeps cylinders in circulation and out of landfills.
🏠 Easier for Customers
No more forgetting to reorder, overpaying for one-off cylinders, or figuring out where to drop off empties. We handle it all—automatically.
🇬🇧 Powered by UK Operations
We refill everything right here in the UK—minimising emissions and supporting local jobs. Our facility has the capacity for 7 million refills per year. That’s a lot of bubbles, with a fraction of the footprint.
