Why we chose glass for our MadeKind Natural Cleaning Products

When Caroline and I were creating MadeKind, we focussed on delivering a natural cleaning product that cleaned brilliantly without any toxic chemicals. We wanted to protect the planet and for our products to look stylish. One big consideration was our packaging - we selected glass as the superior choice for our bottles for a number of reasons :

Better for the Planet

Plastic waste is one of the leading contributors to pollution. Even though many plastic bottles are labeled as recyclable, only a fraction actually end up being recycled. The rest often sit in landfills or pollute waterways, where they can take centuries to break down.

Glass is 100% recyclable and can be reused over and over without losing its quality. Recycling glass saves energy and raw materials, making it one of the most sustainable packaging materials available.

Reusable and Long-Lasting

Unlike plastic, which often cracks or degrades with use, glass is highly durable when treated with care. A single glass bottle can last for years and be reused dozens, even hundreds, of times.

This not only reduces waste but can also save money in the long run, especially if you’re using refills.

Stylish and Premium Appeal

Glass bottles have a timeless, elegant look. They are used by premium brands to signify quality and craftsmanship. In everyday use, they simply feel better in your hand- sturdier, stylish, and more refined than plastic.

Formula Friendly

Amber glass bottles offer UV protection to preserve potency and shelf life, especially for the essential oils in our formulas.

Choosing glass over plastic might seem like a small decision, but it carries big benefits. It’s kinder to the planet, protects our products and looks stylish. As we move toward a more conscious and sustainable future, choosing glass bottles is one simple decision that makes a lasting difference.
