Relotion: An Eco-Friendly and 100% Recyclable Refill

Updated: Jul 20

Why Do Traditional Soap Bottles Harm the Environment?

Traditional liquid soap bottles pose a significant environmental challenge. They are often made from multiple types of plastic, making them difficult to recycle. Even worse, plastic caps are rarely recycled properly, frequently ending up in landfills or the ocean.


The Environmental Impact of Traditional Bottles


  • Non-recyclable plastics accumulate in landfills: Many soap bottles contain mixed plastics that are not accepted in most recycling programs, leading to unnecessary waste.

  • Plastic caps are often lost and improperly sorted: Small plastic components, like caps, are frequently overlooked in the recycling process and contribute to microplastic pollution.

  • Inefficient designs lead to soap waste: Traditional bottles often leave behind a significant amount of liquid soap that users struggle to extract, leading to unnecessary waste and additional purchases.


The Growing Plastic Waste Crisis


The global consumption of plastic continues to rise, with millions of tons ending up in the environment each year. According to the United Nations, only 9% of plastic waste has ever been recycled, while the rest accumulates in landfills, oceans, and ecosystems. Liquid soap bottles contribute significantly to this issue. With most consumers replacing their soap bottles every few months, the cycle of waste continues.

At Relotion, we are transforming the soap refill industry with a more sustainable, practical, and fully recyclable solution.


Innovative Design for Zero Waste


Minimalist and Optimized Format

Unlike traditional bottles, the Relotion refill is designed as an ergonomic can with a curved base. This unique design ensures complete soap usage, leaving no residual waste. By eliminating waste at the source, consumers get the most out of every drop while reducing their environmental impact.


Convenient and Clean Piercing System

No more plastic caps! Our refill features a built-in rigid straw, allowing for clean and efficient piercing of the aluminum seal. Installing it is effortless—simply insert the refill into the dispenser and pump! This eliminates messy spills and the frustration of dealing with stubborn bottle openings.


100% Recyclable Aluminum Seal

The seal includes an ergonomic tab for easy removal and recycling, eliminating microplastic waste. Unlike plastic caps and pumps, which are often discarded improperly, aluminum is infinitely recyclable, meaning it can be repurposed without losing quality.

Relotion: A Zero-Waste Solution


Fully Recyclable Components


  • Refill body: Made from 100% recyclable plastic, accepted in most recycling programs. Unlike traditional soap bottles that mix different types of plastic, Relotion's refills are made with a single recyclable material.

  • Aluminum seal: Easily recyclable when collected with other metals. Aluminum is one of the most valuable recyclable materials, requiring 95% less energy to recycle than producing new aluminum.

  • No plastic cap: Reduces plastic pollution risk. By eliminating single-use plastic components, Relotion prevents unnecessary waste from entering landfills and waterways.


Less Plastic, Less Pollution

Relotion uses 70% less plastic compared to traditional soap bottles, significantly lowering the environmental footprint of your soap consumption. By making small, conscious choices like switching to sustainable refills, consumers can actively reduce their plastic waste and contribute to a cleaner planet.


The Circular Economy Approach

Unlike single-use packaging, which follows a linear path from production to disposal, Relotion embraces a circular economy model, where materials are continuously reused and repurposed. This system minimizes waste and reduces the demand for new raw materials, decreasing overall carbon emissions.


How to Recycle Your Relotion Refill


Proper recycling is essential for ensuring that materials are reused effectively. Here’s how you can dispose of your Relotion refill in the most eco-friendly way:

  1. Remove the aluminum seal using the tab. This prevents contamination and ensures the plastic body is ready for recycling.

  2. Place the plastic refill body in your recycling bin. Check your local recycling guidelines to confirm acceptance.

  3. Add the aluminum seal to your metal recycling. A useful tip: collect small aluminum pieces together (such as forming a ball with foil) to improve sorting efficiency in recycling centers.


By following these steps, consumers ensure that each component of their Relotion refill is properly repurposed, further reducing waste.


The Future of Sustainable Hygiene Products


The shift toward sustainable personal care products is becoming more urgent as consumers become aware of environmental issues. With increasing bans on single-use plastics in various regions, including parts of the United States and Canada, brands that offer eco-friendly alternatives are at the forefront of change.

Relotion is more than just a refill—it represents a movement toward more responsible consumption. With innovations in sustainable packaging, companies can drastically reduce waste while maintaining product quality and convenience.
