Yes, the packaging can be reused under normal use, if you follow basic hygiene rules and continuously check the condition of the bottle and the trigger mechanism. Before each new filling, the bottle and sprayer must be thoroughly cleaned and then disinfected with a suitable agent (for example IPA 99% isopropyl alcohol or ethanol 96% denatured, plant-based). It is recommended to reuse the packaging for a similar type of formulation (e.g. a cleaning agent after a cleaning agent) in order to minimise the risk of an undesirable reaction between residues of the original contents and the new product.

After emptying the bottle, it is advisable to dismantle the packaging to the extent permitted by its design (unscrew the trigger sprayer from the neck and check the dip tube and nozzle). Rinse the bottle with warm water and a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow it to dry completely. Afterwards, you can also spray the inside of the packaging and the sprayer with a disinfectant solution (e.g. based on isopropyl alcohol or ethanol), and it is advisable to pump some of the solution through the trigger mechanism so that the internal liquid path is cleaned. Before filling with a new product, make sure that no residues of the original preparation or the disinfectant remain in the packaging.

The trigger sprayer is most suitable for low-viscosity to moderately thick liquids that do not contain larger undissolved particles. In practice, these are, for example, surface cleaners, glass solutions, air and textile fresheners, some cosmetic or body sprays, plant care preparations and similar formulations. With thicker emulsions or liquids with a higher proportion of solid particles, the spraying quality may decrease or the nozzle may clog. Before putting it into routine use, we always recommend making a trial batch and checking whether the spraying meets your requirements.

If you decide not to use the bottle with trigger sprayer any further, we recommend first emptying it as much as possible and rinsing it so that no residues of the original product remain. The subsequent method of recycling depends on the material marking, which you will find in the parameters of the specific product on the website – according to this, you will assign the packaging to the appropriate type of plastic. In most cases, a clean plastic packaging belongs in the container for separated plastic, and it is advisable to separate the bottle and the trigger mechanism if they are made of different materials. If you are unsure about local rules, follow the recommendations of your collection yard or municipal services so that recycling is as effective as possible.

To select suitable packaging, we recommend using the advanced filter in the packaging categories. After clicking on the relevant category (for example bottles, jars or sprayers), you will find the filter at the top of the page. In it, you can conveniently combine several criteria – neck type and size, volume, colour, material used and other properties. In this way, you can quickly narrow down the offer to packaging that matches your formulation and the intended dosing method, and you will more easily find the bottle or jar that will be most suitable for your product.
