12 Recyclable Refill Cans

From Sustainable Canned Shampoos to Can-Based Cleaning Kits

Personal care and household product brands are embracing refill cans that resemble soda or beer packaging to offer consumers a sustainable and convenient way to replenish products.

From dish soap to hand sanitizer, shampoo and body wash, brands are offering a variety of everyday essentials in canned formats as they shift away from traditional plastic refill pouches and bulky bottles and boxes, which not only contribute to excess waste but also incur heavy shipping costs.

By adopting lightweight and infinitely recyclable cans, brands provide an eco-friendly alternative that reduces environmental impact and offers ease of use for consumers. Some systems even incorporate pump packaging into the cans, ensuring effortless dispensing of the product. For those without pump systems, the cans are designed to be easily recyclable by consumers, further enhancing their appeal as a sustainable packaging solution.
