My twin sister, Mara and I opened our eco friendly refillery in Toronto, Canada, in December of 2019; putting our knowledge of sustainable living to good use!
 •
The Green Jar is an eco-friendly, package-free refillery.
We have worked hard at finding Canadian products that align with our values.
 •
Our Mission is to eliminate single-use plastics by offering plant-based, bulk and package-free products that are compostable, recyclable, biodegradable or can be re-purposed in a way that supports a circular economy.
•
We have been eco-conscious since the 70's. Our Mother and Grandmother heavily influenced us. In our house, we bought in bulk, nothing went to waste and everything was made from scratch.
We tried to maintain the same lifestyle as young adults, yet found it challenging to find package-free, safe alternatives. Our dream was to one day, play a bigger role in finding a solution to the ubiquitous plastics issue.
 •
We are very excited to continue to grow in our little refillery, curating local and sustainable alternatives to single-use plastics.
 •
Drop us a line; we'd love to answer any questions you may have in the comment section!

“After graduating I tried a few different jobs but wasn’t entirely sure what I wanted to do. I was working as a content strategist at an agency but found myself so unmotivated and uninspired. I wanted to build something that I actually cared about. My dad has been in the jewellery business for 30+ years. So, when one of my friends was talking to me about wanting a necklace that was real gold and trendy (like mejuri) but didn’t want to pay steep prices, I briefly told her I could get her the necklace for a cheaper price! And that’s kinda where it started. From there, I built out an Instagram page and the idea really started coming to life. There was a demand for it and still is, and we’re looking forward to seeing it grow and where it takes us!” -Jess, founder of

"I discovered my passion for art when I was a young girl - from colouring all over my bedroom walls to drawing on sticky notes and selling them to family members! My mom put me into art classes from an early age and so my passion grew. When I reached high school, the idea of pursuing a career in art seemed 'childish' and unrealistic. While my passion for art never diminished, it simply became a far away dream nagging in the back of my mind.

When COVID hit, I decided (for a lack of a better phrase) to "just do it" and to finally go full force into something I had been thinking about for such a long time. I wanted to create a space for other Canadian artists to share their talent and have success from it. I also know how art can inspire and touch people - so I wanted again a space that anyone could visit and feel inspired and bring that into their homes. While the art gallery is online only right now, I would love to have pop up galleries experiences across the country once COVID settles down! I truly believe art has the power to heal. My biggest dream is to one day build a foundation that allows youth living with trauma and mental illness to have opportunities to use art to heal." - Remy, founder of
