Method Refill Pouch Packaging Expanding

San Francisco-based Method is finding success with its innovative packaging configuration for its liquid hand soap refills.  Method’s refill pouch is now widely available across the country and according to Method’s Katie Molinari will be expanding into other forms of their liquid soaps by March.

According to Method the refill pouch uses 83% less plastic than a similar PET bottle and in turn needs less energy to produce. “Consumers are responding well to the refill and we encourage our customers to purchase refills when available as they use considerably less plastic than thick PET containers,” said Molinari.  Method hand wash refills are currently available at Target and other stores including Home Depot, Schnucks, Gristedes and more.

Packaging for freshness

Each mix is carefully double packaged for long term storage. The exterior pouch is constructed of a double layer Mylar material. Mylar protects the product against oxygen and light, both of which accelerate the deterioration of food. The inner bags are made of heavy duty three or four-mil plastic. All products are vacuum packed. It costs more to package this way but it is necessary to maximize the life of your foods.
