Yes, the glass bottle can be used repeatedly if hygiene principles are observed. Before each new filling, the packaging must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, ideally using a suitable alcohol, such as isopropyl alcohol or ethanol. For this purpose, you can use the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96 % denaturovaný rastlinný. Only after the packaging has completely dried and ventilated is it appropriate to proceed to filling a new formulation.

Before first use, we recommend rinsing the bottle with water, using a mild cleaning agent if necessary, and then rinsing it thoroughly so that no residues remain in the container. After washing, it is appropriate to disinfect the packaging using alcohol (for example with the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96 % denaturovaný rastlinný) and let it dry completely. Only then is the container ready to be filled with the final product.

If you decide not to reuse the packaging, it is appropriate to place it in sorted collection according to the material specified in the product parameters. Glass parts can usually be placed, after emptying and basic cleaning, in a container intended for glass. We recommend separating closures or dispensers made of another material (for example plastic or metal) and sorting them according to local recycling rules. For specific composite materials, follow the recommendation in the parameter table for the particular product on the Handymade.sk website.

The glass medicine bottle is very practical for development and test series, because it makes it possible to fill smaller amounts of formulations and at the same time monitor product stability under real usage conditions. Thanks to compatibility with various types of closures or dispensers, you can also test different methods of product application. However, for each new recipe we recommend carrying out your own test of the compatibility of the packaging with the contents, especially in terms of sealing, dosing and long-term stability.

To make it easier to select a suitable packaging, you can use the advanced filter, which you will find in the upper part of the page after clicking on the selected packaging category. In the advanced filter it is possible to combine several parameters at once – for example neck type, size, colour or material. Thanks to this, you will quickly find bottles, medicine bottles, jars or pots that will best correspond to the requirements of your product and the filling technology.
