Yes, the packaging can be reused if hygiene principles are observed. Before each new filling, the bottle and the spray pump must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, ideally using a suitable alcohol, for example IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or 96 % denatured plant-based ethanol. Thorough disinfection helps minimise the risk of microbial contamination and contributes to the stability of the finished product.

It is advisable to disassemble the spray pump into its individual parts, rinse them with lukewarm water and a mild cleansing agent and then rinse with clean water. After mechanical cleaning, we recommend flushing the suction system and nozzle with a small amount of disinfectant alcohol to remove any residues of the previous product. Before reuse, allow all parts to dry completely in a clean and protected place.

This bottle is particularly suitable for low-viscosity liquid formulations such as toners, hydrolats, light spray serums, aromatherapeutic and refreshing sprays or disinfectant solutions for skin or surfaces. For thicker emulsions or oil blends with high viscosity, it is always necessary to test whether the spray pump can provide smooth and even application without clogging of the nozzle.

For longer shelf life, we recommend working with clean and disinfected packaging, using stable raw materials of appropriate quality and, for suitable formulations, considering the use of preservatives. Store the finished product in a dry place, protected from direct sunlight and significant temperature fluctuations. Dark glass helps limit the negative effect of light, but proper storage remains crucial for maintaining quality.

If you decide not to reuse the packaging, we recommend recycling it according to the types of materials specified in the product parameters. The glass part should be thoroughly rinsed after emptying and placed in the appropriate container for sorted glass waste. Sort the plastic components of the spray pump (head, tube, cap) according to their marking into the relevant plastic fraction. Always follow local waste-sorting rules and the information in the parameter table for the specific product on Handymade.

The simplest way to choose is to use the advanced filter, which you can find at the top of the page after clicking on the selected packaging category. Using the filter, you can clearly sort products by neck type, size, colour and material, which significantly facilitates finding the right bottle, jar or dispenser for a specific formulation. Thanks to the combination of several parameters, you can quickly narrow the selection down to only those packages that meet your technical and aesthetic requirements.
