Is the Gel Hand Soap pouch recyclable? How is it sustainable?Updated 4 months ago

Unfortunately, it is not recyclable. It is a conventional pouch. We did look into more eco-friendly options, but the compostable and recycled pouches were not sturdy enough to ship.

The Hand Soap bottles are refillable, so you won't have to buy a new bottle with every purchase! We also offer a refill pouch, which is 2/3 less plastic than a plastic bottle. Also, plastic bottles use more pallets/shipping resources on the front end to ship them into a manufacturer. We can ship a lot more of the pouches on a pallet, and therefore limit fuel usage, etc. in shipping.
