The container can be reused provided it is handled appropriately and its mechanical integrity is maintained. For each new filling it is necessary, however, to clean the medicine bottle thoroughly and then disinfect it with a suitable agent, for example isopropyl alcohol IPA 99 % or plant-based ethanol Ethanol 96 % denatured. This procedure helps to minimise the risk of microbial contamination and extends the safe use of the packaging.

Before reuse we recommend rinsing the container with a suitable cleaning solution or with warm water and a mild detergent, rinsing it thoroughly with clean water and allowing it to dry completely. Afterwards, the internal surfaces and the contact parts of the closure must be disinfected – for example with alcohol-based preparations such as IPA 99 % or Ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based. Only after the alcohol has completely evaporated is the container ready for new filling.

The combination of a rigid plastic body and an aluminium top provides good mechanical protection of the contents during normal storage and carrying. For more sensitive formulas we recommend paying attention to correct storage according to the nature of the product (protect from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures and humidity) and always carrying out your own stability test in the selected combination of container and formula. For products with special requirements regarding barrier properties it is advisable to verify also the long-term behaviour of the contents in contact with the packaging material.

If you decide not to reuse the container, we recommend placing it, after emptying and basic rinsing, into sorted waste according to the type of material specified in the parameter table for the product. It is advisable to separate the plastic body and the metal top from each other before discarding, so that each component can be recycled in the appropriate collection stream (plastic / metal). In the case of product residues containing oils or other substances, it is suitable to follow local rules for disposal of cosmetic and chemical residues in order to minimise the impact on the environment.

When choosing a suitable packaging you can use the extended filter located at the top of the page after clicking on the selected packaging category. In the extended filter it is possible to combine several parameters at once – for example the type and diameter of the neck, the size of the container, colour or material. Thanks to this, you can easily display only those small bottles, medicine bottles, jars or other packaging materials that meet the requirements of your formulation and the intended dosing method.

When filling, we recommend working in the cleanest environment possible, using suitable tools (funnels, pipettes, measuring cups) and not overfilling the container above the recommended level so that there is space left for safe closing. Before the actual filling it is important that the medicine bottle is dry, clean and disinfected. During storage it is advisable to protect the container from excessive heat, direct sun and mechanical damage. This will support longer stability of the contents and of the container itself and minimise the risk of leakage or changes in the properties of the product.
