Yes, the glass bottle can be reused with gentle handling, provided it is not mechanically damaged and the dosing system remains fully functional. Before each new filling, however, it is necessary to clean and disinfect the packaging thoroughly in accordance with good manufacturing hygiene practice. For disinfection we recommend using, for example, isopropyl alcohol IPA 99 % or ethanol 96 % denatured, which you can find in the Handymade.sk range (IPA 99 – isopropyl alcohol, Ethanol 96 % denatured, plant‑based). After disinfection, allow the packaging to air out and dry thoroughly, and only then proceed to fill it with a new product.

First, it is advisable to rinse the packaging mechanically with warm water and a suitable detergent to remove residues of the original product. It is then recommended to rinse with clean water, or with distilled water if necessary, and subsequently carry out disinfection using alcohol (for example, products available on Handymade.sk: IPA 99 or ethanol 96 %). The dosing mechanism should be disinfected by drawing a portion of the disinfection solution into the system and pumping it through several times so that it passes along the entire path. After disinfection, allow all parts of the complete packaging to dry thoroughly in a clean, dust‑free place.

This type of glass medicine bottle with dispenser is generally suitable for liquid products with low to medium viscosity, such as aqueous solutions, toners, serums and lighter oil blends. For very thick formulations, dosing may be slower or less smooth, therefore we recommend testing it with your specific recipe. If necessary, you can choose another type of closure or applicator from the Handymade.sk range that will better match the viscosity of your product.

If you decide not to use the packaging any further, responsible recycling in accordance with local waste separation rules is recommended. After emptying and rinsing, place the glass bottle in the appropriate glass container according to the colour coding in your town or municipality. The dosing part, which consists of several components (plastic and possibly metal parts), usually needs to be disposed of in residual waste or according to local instructions for plastic sorting, if the system allows this. We recommend studying the parameters and material composition specified for the product on Handymade.sk and then following the official guidelines for waste separation in your country.

To make it easier to select a suitable bottle, medicine bottle or other type of packaging, you can use the advanced filter, which is located at the top of the page after clicking on the relevant packaging category. In the advanced filter you can combine multiple criteria – for example, neck type and size, overall size of the packaging, colour variant and the material used. In this way, you will quickly display only those packages that correspond to your formulation and the desired appearance. If you are not sure, it is recommended to test several variants and verify compatibility with the specific product.
