    Bad label, but good packaging. I recently bought a soap refill and was thrilled it didn’t come in yet another plastic bottle.

      The inside lining is generally plastic or metallic foils and causes these types of containers to be significantly harder to recycle than if they were made from a single material instead. The only way around this is larger, reusable containers with no waste. 🤷‍♂️ Not to say you’re the problem, just saying that it not being “made of plastic” doesn’t really matter as it’s still not made of biodegradable materials.

        Because buying common packaging equipment is good for a small brand. Developing unique packaging means paying for custom machinery.
