Michelle Stevens is the Founder & CEO of the ever-evolving and always-innovating The Refill Shoppe. Founded in 2010, The Refill Shoppe continues to be a leader in the ever-growing (for a good reason) zero-waste industry. Ever since growing up on a sailboat on the bayou just outside of New Orleans, LA and mucking around the Everglades in Southwest Florida as a child, Michelle Stevens has fostered a passion for finding solutions and making a difference helping the natural environments around us to thrive. Michelle loves to share insights on the realities of our current state of consumerism, the misconceptions around recycling and hope for the future, especially the expansion of implementable solutions. Looking forward to connecting and helping in any way I can.
