5 Ways Foaming Soap Tablets Reduce Your Plastic Waste

Published on June 18, 2025

Tackling the mountain of plastic waste can feel overwhelming, but small, consistent changes in our daily routines can lead to a massive collective impact. One of the biggest culprits in bathroom waste is the single-use plastic soap dispenser. Here’s how making the switch to a refillable system with foaming soap tablets can make a real difference.

1. You Reuse the Bottle, Endlessly

The most obvious benefit is also the most powerful. Instead of buying a new plastic bottle every month, you use the same durable glass or recycled plastic dispenser over and over. A single person can prevent 10-15 bottles from entering landfills or oceans each year just by making this one change.

2. No More Shipping Water

Traditional liquid soap is up to 90% water. Shipping heavy water-filled bottles across the country has a significant carbon footprint. Soap tablets are lightweight and compact, drastically reducing transportation emissions.

3. 100% Compostable Packaging

Our soap tablet refills don't come in a plastic bag. They are wrapped in small, paper-based compostable packets. Once you drop your tablet in the bottle, the wrapper can go directly into your compost bin, breaking down naturally and leaving no trace.

4. Less Product Waste

How often do you struggle to get the last bit of soap out of a traditional pump bottle? Pre-portioned tablets ensure you use exactly the right amount of product every time, eliminating the waste that gets stuck at the bottom of the bottle.

5. Inspires Other Eco-Friendly Habits

Adopting a zero-waste hand soap system often has a ripple effect. Once you see how easy and effective it is, it encourages you to look for other areas in your life where you can reduce single-use products, from the kitchen to your cleaning supplies.
