Eco Friendly Soap Dispensers

More people are making environmentally conscious changes to their everyday living. Making changes to your daily routine doesn't have to start big. One simple thing you can do is switch from plastic to glass soap dispensers.

Benefits of Glass Soap Dispensers

There are many benefits to using soap dispensers that aren't disposable. Glass soap dispensers are longer lasting than their plastic counterparts. You can also purchase larger and typically more economical refills rather than shelling out money for new packaging each time you buy soap. If you want to be even more environmentally friendly, there are plenty of recycled glass soap dispensers on the market too.

There may be health advantages to using glass bath accessories over plastic ones as well. A 2011 study published in Environmental Health Perspectives found that most plastics release substances that mimic natural estrogen. While BPA is a well known culprit. When you use glass soap dispensers, you can worry less every time you wash your hands.

Glass Soap Dispensers with Metal Pumps are Long Lasting

You know that the glass bases of your soap dispensers will last for a long time, but what about the pumps? Fortunately, there's an answer for that, too. The availability of soap dispensers with metal pumps means you won't have to worry about a plastic pump wearing out or sticking.

Soap dispensers with metal pumps come in two different varieties: foaming and non-foaming. Non-foaming pumps dispense soap normally, as a liquid. Foaming pumps aerate thinner liquid mixes and create a frothy foam that is then used to wash the hands. If you make your own mix, it can be quite economical. There are a plethora of Homemade Liquid Soap DIYs online at website such as pinterest.

Environmental Benefits

When you choose to implement reusable glass bath accessories instead of using disposable plastics, it affects the environment in a number of ways. First, less waste is produced, freeing up space in landfills. Second, because there's less demand, less plastic is made, reducing the pollution that occurs during the manufacturing process. Finally, the resources and energy used to produce plastic soap dispensers can be used elsewhere, in more environmentally friendly ways.

If you want to reduce your carbon footprint even further, use soap dispensers with metal pumps. Their parts may hold up longer than plastic pumps. This is another great way to avoid generating more waste.

Using durable and reusable glass soap dispensers, it's easy to make the choice to switch from plastic. It will benefit your budget, too.

Decor Options

Whether you choose recycled glass soap dispensers with a green tint or clear , it's simple to find glass bath accessories that fit your decor. From rustic, cottage and vintage inspired styles to elegant tall vessel sink soap dispenser designs, you're sure to find one that will suit your personal style. And since it's long lasting and reusable, you'll also be doing your part to help conserve Earth's precious resources.
