It's no surprise that [COVID-19](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecoconscious-covid19-testing-kit) has led to an influx in the retailing and production of hand sanitizer, but one thing consumers might not consider is the waste these containers will cause -- Humankind's [recyclable hand sanitizer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hand-sanitizer-serum) was created in response to this, offering a more eco-conscious solution.

This product arrives in a trio that's designed with aesthetic in mind, offering a black, green, and pale pink colorway, each one representing the scents of unscented, Eucalyptus, and grapefruit. The 2.4 ounce bottles take one step further in protecting the environment by offering a [reusable pump](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anew) that can be used the next time these recyclable products are purchased, further incentivizing the consumer. The sanitizer is made with 65 percent alcohol and hyaluronic acid.
