Managing Hand Sanitizer Waste with Eco-Friendly Solutions
Hand sanitizers, essential for personal hygiene, present unique recycling challenges due to their chemical composition and packaging. Most hand sanitizers are packaged in plastic bottles, pumps, or aerosol cans, all of which need to be processed correctly to avoid environmental harm. In addition, the sanitizing chemicals, often alcohol-based, can complicate recycling. g2 provides tailored recycling solutions that address these challenges by ensuring the proper disposal of both the packaging and product contents.
