Plastic fabric softener bottle

Composition

The composition of the plastic bottle is indicated by abbreviations of the chemical compound from which it is made, most commonly HDPE (high-density polyethylene).

Environmental impact

Recycling plastic bottles reduces fossil fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. When improperly discarded, these bottles decompose very slowly, while softener residues and scents can locally pollute water.

Disposal instructions

Dispose of it in the appropriate container for plastic waste. Before disposal, rinse out any leftover contents.

Factoid

Some manufacturers already use 100% recycled plastic in their bottles, reducing the need for new plastic and lowering pollution.
