what ingredients are used for the actual plastic bottle and the refillable pouches? (not the actual shampoo but the bottle) and what are the economic benefits of a refillable shampoo pouch?Shampoo bottles vs refillable shampoo packages?
Shampoo bottles are usually made from high density polyethylene (HDPE), which can be recycled. I've never seen a refillable pouch. The small sample-size packets of shampoo such as the individual servings provided by many motels is usually a mix of two plastics, and is seldom recyclable. It also has a much higher ratio of packaging to content. The motel pays 5 cents for 2 cents worth of content, but it doesn't risk people stealing the whole 2 dollar bottle.
