Löspåfyllnad

Löspåfyllnad refers to a method of refilling or replenishing something in a loose, unmeasured, or non-packaged manner. The term originates from Swedish and literally translates to "loose refill." It is often used in contexts where a product is dispensed directly from a larger container into a customer's own container or a bulk container, rather than being pre-packaged.

This practice is commonly seen in stores that sell bulk goods like grains, nuts, seeds, or cleaning supplies. Customers can bring their own bags or containers, fill them with the desired amount of product, and then pay by weight or volume. This can reduce packaging waste and allow consumers to purchase exactly the quantity they need.

In some cases, löspåfyllnad might also apply to services where a supply is replenished without a fixed quantity, such as refilling a toner cartridge for a printer at a service center. The core concept remains the direct transfer of a substance or material from a bulk source into a usable form or container without individual packaging. This method is generally seen as more economical and environmentally friendly than individually packaged goods.
