Greiner Packaging developed a sustainable refill bottle that can be used for liquids in spray bottles such as household cleaning products.

The bottle can be used for multiple refill doses, doing the work of four conventional spray bottles and trigger sprayers – a supremely simple and affordable way to cut down on plastic waste.

The newly developed 200-milliliter refill bottle is made of HDPE, PP, or PET material and weighs just around 16 grams in its original form.

It contains 200 ml of concentrate, which later produces ten times its liquid volume across four spray bottle refills. Each safe, 50 ml dose can also be adjusted to 30 ml or 40 ml.

This is done through a special valve and a guiding nozzle that fits into all standard spray bottles. Thanks to their shape, the new refill bottles make it easy for consumers to squeeze out their contents in consistent doses – plus, they can be provided with an attractive label. In addition, the nonremovable, hinged snap-on lid is fitted with a safety lock. And a user-friendly level indicator completes the list of practical features. As a result, the newly designed bottle is well placed to meet all current market requirements.

Greiner Packaging puts great emphasis on ensuring that the overall packaging is as recyclable as possible. This same approach is consistently applied when it comes to the selection of materials and decorative elements, and the plastics experts consult individually with customers on each project in line with the principles of a circular economy. The valve included in the lid enables the product to be dispensed in an ideal manner with a high degree of precision. This valve part can be mechanically separated later in the recycling process, which increases the recyclability of the packaging solution as a whole. When using labels for decoration, Greiner Packaging recommends that a compatible material is selected to allow for maximum recyclability.
