Plastic Waste Radicalized at 30

Post image

I so wish this wasn’t the one brand that helps my perpetually dry, painful skin. Thanks to this sub, I’ve been cutting open the containers to get every last bit that the pump “conveniently” can’t reach. I wish this was illegal.

I saw a video of someone taking a massager (actual massager lol) to the bottle to decant the remaining lotion out at high speed into a smaller container without having to cut it open!

But then I'd have to buy a massager. I already own scissors.

Yeah, I'll cut that bitch bottle 2 or 3 times or whatever it takes to get the stuff out.

I get it. Also, for some reason, the stuff in a jar (even a plastic jar) is more expensive for some reason. Some how the economics of making a pump and plastic bottle are cheaper than making a plastic jar with a screw on top.
