Yes, the packaging can be used repeatedly if hygiene principles are observed. Before each new filling, it is necessary to clean the bottle thoroughly and then disinfect it, ideally using isopropyl alcohol or ethanol, for example the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based. Disinfection should take place at room temperature, without exposing the PET material to high temperatures. After thorough drying, the bottle can be safely refilled with a suitable product.

First we recommend rinsing the packaging with lukewarm water and a mild cleaning agent to remove residues of the original contents. Then it is appropriate to rinse the bottle with clean water, allow it to drain and dry it at room temperature. After drying, it is necessary to disinfect the inner surface using a suitable alcohol solution (for example IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based). PET material is not suitable for boiling or washing in a dishwasher, because at high temperatures there is a risk of deformation of the packaging and deterioration of its properties.

If you decide not to use the bottle further, we recommend recycling it according to local waste sorting rules and the information given in the parameter table for the product on Handymade.sk. Before handing it over to sorted waste collection, it is appropriate to rinse the packaging, remove any remaining contents and, where possible, separate any closure or dispenser if it is made from a different type of plastic. The PET bottle body itself is normally placed in a container designated for plastic waste, which supports its reprocessing and a reduction of environmental burden.

PET packaging is not intended for contact with hot or freshly cooked products. The material can be sensitive to high temperatures, at which there is a risk of deformation of the bottle and a decrease in its mechanical stability. We recommend filling only completely cooled or at most slightly lukewarm formulations that do not cause softening or bending of the packaging walls. If you work with emulsions or solutions prepared using heat, it is advisable to cool them first to room temperature and only then fill them into the PET bottle.

To select the right packaging, we recommend using the advanced filter that you can find at the top of the page after clicking on a specific packaging category. Using the filter, you can easily narrow down the range according to neck type, size, colour and packaging material. Thanks to this, you can quickly choose only those bottles, jars or pots that correspond to your formulation and the method of dosing. For specific packaging requirements, you can combine filters and compare several options until you find the optimal solution for your product.
