Yes, the packaging can be reused if hygiene principles are observed. Before each new filling, the bottle and the dropper must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected in order to minimise the risk of microbial contamination of the contents. For disinfection we recommend using, for example, isopropyl alcohol or ethanol intended for cleaning packaging, which you can find in the range as IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based. After applying the disinfecting solution, allow all parts of the packaging to dry completely.

We recommend disassembling the dropper into its individual parts after the bottle has been emptied, rinsing it with a suitable cleaning agent according to the type of previous filling and then rinsing with water. After basic cleaning, it is advisable to disinfect the internal parts using alcohol, which you allow to act briefly. Then remove any alcohol residues and let the dropper dry naturally in a vertical position. Before re-use, always check that the dropper seals properly, does not draw in air and dispenses drops evenly.

Green glass provides better protection of the contents from light than clear glass and is therefore also suitable for products that are more sensitive to light, such as certain plant oils, macerates or aromatic blends. Nevertheless, we recommend storing finished products away from direct sunlight, ideally in a dry, shaded place with an appropriate temperature. By combining the protective properties of the glass with suitable storage conditions, you will support longer-term stability and quality of the contents.

If you decide not to use the packaging further, we recommend first emptying it and removing any residues of the original product. The glass body of the bottle can usually, once cleaned of residues and labels, be placed in the container designated for glass according to local recycling rules. The closure with dropper usually consists of several materials (plastic, rubber, possibly metal components), so it is advisable to follow the recommendations given in the parameter table for the specific product on the website so that you can assign them to the correct collection stream. Always follow the local rules for waste separation.

The easiest way to find suitable packaging is to use the advanced filter in the packaging material categories. After clicking on the selected category, a filtering option appears at the top of the page, where you can sort the packaging according to parameters such as neck type, size, colour or material. In this way you can quickly display only those bottles, vials, jars or containers that meet your technical and design requirements and that you can more easily combine with suitable closures or dosing accessories.

When filling, it is advisable to use a funnel or a suitable filling aid in order to minimise contamination of the neck and thread, which supports better sealing of the dropper. It is not recommended to fill the bottle completely to the top so that there is space for air and the dropper can function correctly. After closing, always check that the dropper seals well and that, when the bottle is turned over, no contents leak outside the neck. During storage, keep the bottle tightly closed, away from sources of heat and at a stable temperature, which helps to maintain the quality of your product.
