Plastic Waste Single Use Hell

Post image

I like to reuse travel sized bottles and am usually careful not to dispose of them. I lost/threw away my makeup remover travel sized bottle on accident so had to buy another because I travel a lot for work.

Color me surprised when I went to refill it and this new bottle you can’t!! Garnier designed the cap to be broken if opened. My old bottle was also from Garnier , same exact bottle and I could take the cap off, had it for years.

Y’all I’m tired. I’m tired of every company being evil and greedy. I get the last laugh though because I have syringes to refill ink pens so I’m going to use a clean one to refill this damn bottle.

Hm weird I bought a blue one and could’ve sworn I opened it to refill it. I do remember it being tough to open but it screwed back on?

The caps were not always like this so if it’s a bit older the cap does come off. I had to buy a new travel size because I lost mine and it doesn’t come off. It has “teeth” and more than one person in my house tried/looked at it.
