CONTENTS: 140g grains diluting to 1.1+ litre handwash liquid (2 pouches of 70g each)
Hand-washing saves more lives across the world, than all of medicine put together! Unfortunately, liquid handwashes are either packaged in thick plastic bottles or laminated refill packs. These are mostly high-grade plastic and though theoretically recyclable, less than 15% would actually get recycled. So, most of this material would end up in a landfill.
Since the dominant ingredient (80%+) of handwash liquids is water and we have plenty of that at home, why not re-use our existing bottles and create some more handwash when we run out? Great idea!
The grains are packaged in a fully compostable pouch. This pouch can be added to a home composting unit or to your garden soil, and will break down under natural conditions in about 6 months. It is CPCB approved and will also be accepted at a community or industrial composting unit near you. If not composting yourself, the best way would be to segregate and inform your waste collector about this material.
* If 'GO NAKED!' is selected, only the product pouches (unmarked) will be shipped wrapped in newspaper with a warning label. There would be no external packaging, labeling or instruction sheet.
