Yes, the packaging can be used repeatedly if hygiene rules are observed. Before each new filling, both the bottle and the sprayer must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. For disinfection, we recommend using a suitable alcohol-based preparation, for example isopropyl alcohol or ethanol, which you can also find in our range as IPA 99 – isopropyl alcohol and ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based. After disinfection, let all parts dry completely and only then fill them again with your product.

First rinse the packaging with a suitable cleaning agent and rinse thoroughly with water to remove residues of the original product. Then we recommend disinfecting the inner space of the bottle and the parts of the sprayer with an alcohol solution. In our offer you will find, for example, the products IPA 99 – isopropyl alcohol (/ipa-99-isopropyl-alkohol-1-l/ target="_blank") and ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based (/etanol-96-denaturovany-rastlinny-1-l/ target="_blank"). After disinfection, let all components drain and dry completely at room temperature, so that your new formulation is not diluted by residues of the cleaning medium.

The suitability of the packaging for a specific formulation always depends on the type and concentration of solvents, the nature of the essential oils and other components. Before final use, we recommend carrying out your own compatibility test – fill in a smaller amount of the product, monitor the stability of the plastic, the functionality of the sprayer and any changes in the appearance or odour of the packaging. For formulations with a higher alcohol content or intense essential oils, long-term monitoring is important to ensure that the packaging remains fully functional throughout the entire planned period of product use.

Before recycling, it is advisable to empty the packaging as much as possible and remove any remaining contents. Then sort the packaging according to the type of material stated in the product parameters – it is usually placed in the appropriate container for plastic waste. If possible, separate the bottle from the sprayer and, if necessary, divide the individual parts according to materials. Always follow the recycling symbols and recommended sorting in the parameter table for the specific product on Handymade.sk, so that you assign the packaging to the correct waste processing stream.

When selecting suitable packaging, we recommend using the advanced filter, which is available at the top of the page after clicking on the relevant packaging category. Thanks to this filter, you can quickly narrow down the offer according to parameters that are key for your product – for example according to the type and diameter of the neck, the overall size of the packaging, the colour or the material type. By combining these filters, you can easily select those bottles, vials, jars or dispensers that will best match the character of your formulation and the desired design of the final product.
