The plastic bucket can be used repeatedly if hygiene principles are observed, provided it is not mechanically damaged and the material does not show signs of fatigue. Before each new filling, the packaging must be thoroughly cleaned and then disinfected with a suitable agent, for example technical alcohol or isopropyl alcohol. For disinfection we recommend using the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96 % denatured, plant-based, which help to minimise the risk of contamination of the contents during further use of the bucket.

Before refilling the bucket, we recommend first mechanically removing any residues of the original contents, then washing the packaging in lukewarm water with a suitable cleaning agent and rinsing thoroughly. After complete drying, it is advisable to disinfect the inner surface of the bucket and the contact surfaces of the lid with an alcohol solution, for example using IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or 96 % plant-based ethanol. This reduces the risk of microbial contamination during the next filling.

Yes, the bucket is suitable for storing many cosmetic raw materials, such as powder blends, bath salts, soap flakes or waxes, provided these raw materials are compatible with the plastic used. We always recommend carrying out a trial filling in a smaller quantity and observing the behaviour of the packaging material in contact with the specific product. During storage it is important to maintain a dry and clean environment and to protect the bucket from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

To select the right packaging, you can use the extended filter in the packaging material categories. After clicking on the relevant category, the extended filter is located at the top of the page and allows you to sort products according to several parameters. Most commonly it is possible to filter by type or neck diameter, overall size of the packaging, colour design and material used. Thanks to this, you will quickly find bottles, jars, pots or buckets that will meet the requirements of your product.

If you decide not to use the bucket any further, we recommend recycling it to the greatest possible extent according to the type of plastic indicated in the product parameters. First remove any remaining contents, rinse the packaging and, according to the material labelling, sort it into the appropriate container for plastic waste. In this way you reduce the amount of waste and contribute to the reuse of raw materials. In the case of contamination with substances that are not suitable for normal sorting, follow local regulations for waste management.
