Hand soap refill pouches are the eco option most of us reach for. And most kerbside bins won't take them. There are two plastic options on that shelf. The pump bottle, where the bottle recycles but the pump doesn't. And the refill pouch, which is soft plastic, so your bin won't take that either. Refills are still a step up on buying a new bottle every time. They're just not the answer. Our pick is a bar from Little Soap Company. No plastic, no pump, and a certified B Corp. We went through the whole aisle properly on day two of our feed. Every refill brand and what their numbers actually mean, what to check on the back of the pack, the foaming agent nobody checks for, and what switching saves you over a year. If this made you look twice at your soap, that's the one to watch. Got a UK indie soap maker you rate? Drop them below and we'll take a look. #handsoap #plasticfree #sustainableswaps #ecoswaps #madegood
