The medicine bottle can be used repeatedly as long as the packaging is not mechanically damaged and you follow basic hygiene principles. Before each new filling, the bottle must be thoroughly cleaned, rinsed and then disinfected with a suitable alcohol‑based disinfectant, for example IPA 99% isopropyl alcohol or ethanol 96% denatured, plant‑based. Only after the inner surface has completely dried is the packaging ready for refilling. When changing the product type (for example from a technical solution to a cosmetic preparation), it is recommended to use new, previously unused packaging.

After emptying the contents, first remove product residues with warm water and a suitable cleaning agent that is compatible with the plastic used. Then rinse the packaging thoroughly with potable water so that no detergent residues remain. After the inner surface has dried, apply disinfection – for example isopropyl alcohol or plant‑based ethanol – allow it to act for the required time and let it completely air off. Packaging prepared in this way is suitable for refilling, provided that the principles of clean working practice are observed.

If the medicine bottle is made of PET material, it is important to avoid exposure to high temperatures. PET is not suitable for prolonged heating or exposure to direct sunlight in an enclosed space (for example in a car), because this may lead to deformation of the packaging and changes in the properties of the plastic. The packaging is not intended to be washed in a dishwasher or boiled, as these procedures represent excessive thermal stress. Manual cleaning at moderate temperatures and careful handling are recommended in order to maintain shape stability and the functionality of the thread and closure.

If you decide not to reuse the packaging, we recommend recycling it in an environmentally responsible way. First check the information about the material in the product parameter table for this bottle on Handymade.sk and follow the relevant recycling symbol. After emptying the contents, remove product residues from the packaging and, if necessary, briefly rinse it. Then place the plastic bottle in the container designated for that type of plastic according to local waste separation; the cap can be recycled together with the packaging or separately, depending on the material composition as specified in the parameters. In this way you support efficient processing of the used material and reduce the amount of waste.

The simplest way to find a suitable bottle, jar or pot is to use the advanced filter in the packaging material categories. After clicking on the relevant category, the filter is located at the top of the page and allows you to sort products according to several criteria. You can choose, for example, the required neck (thread type), size, colour and also the material of the packaging. By combining these parameters, you can quickly narrow down the selection to the packaging options that best match the specific product type and the intended method of use.
