Why we choose HDPE bottles instead of glass? An ecological approach to packaging and its reuse

In KEDAZO®, we believe that caring for the environment and user convenience should go hand in hand. That’s why we package our products in HDPE (high-density polyethylene) bottles—a material that represents the perfect compromise between functionality and ecological approach. But what exactly does the choice of HDPE mean, and why didn’t we opt for glass? In this article, we will explain our solutions and provide tips on how to best utilize eco-friendly packaging, including our reusable bottles and glass containers from Oilb.io Candles.

What is HDPE and Why Did We Choose It?

HDPE (high-density polyethylene) is one of the most commonly used plastics, known for its durability and versatility. Its structure makes it lightweight, impact-resistant, and excellent for recycling, making it an environmentally friendly material for producing reusable packaging.

Why HDPE Instead of Glass?

While glass is also an eco-friendly material, we encountered several significant challenges when creating packaging for cleaning products:

1. Glass, while elegant and eco-friendly, is prone to breakage and damage, especially with everyday use. During focus group research, we learned that our users expect safe and durable solutions that do not increase the risks associated with dropping a bottle. HDPE is resistant to damage, eliminating the issue of broken glass and mess.
2. Due to its weight, glass is heavier than HDPE, which affects CO₂ emissions during transportation. By choosing HDPE, we reduce the overall carbon footprint of our products, making them not only user-friendly but also less burdensome for the environment.
3. HDPE is one of the easiest materials to recycle—it can be processed multiple times, reducing the number of new resources needed for production. Our HDPE bottles are designed for refilling, aligning with our philosophy of minimizing waste and encouraging users to reduce single-use plastics.

Minimizing Plastic and Waste, Environmentally Friendly Packaging

We strive to minimize waste in every aspect of our production and shipping. Our shipping boxes are fully made from recyclable paper materials. We limit the use of fillers and aim for our packaging to be aesthetic and practical. This way, our customers can enjoy not only high-quality products but also have the assurance that their purchase is eco-friendly.

We are open to suggestions! We regularly analyze the market to improve our approach to packaging and shipping. If you have ideas on how we can further reduce our environmental impact, please share them with us. Your suggestions are a valuable contribution to the continued development of our eco-friendly practices.

Creative Ways to Reuse Our Packaging

We believe that every package deserves a second life; therefore, in addition to recycling, we offer packaging that can be reused at home. Particularly inspiring is the example of our Oilb.io Candles or KEDAZO products.

Containers from Oilb.io Candles or KEDAZO Candles – Eco-Friendly Design with Potential

Our soy candles are not only an environmentally friendly source of light and fragrance.

After burning the candle, the glass container can serve many creative purposes:

• Desk Organizer: Use the glass container as a place for pens, pencils, paper clips, or other office supplies. It’s elegant, practical, and aligns with the idea of reusing.
• Bathroom Accessories Holder: The glass container is perfect for storing toothbrushes, cosmetics, or other bathroom essentials, adding aesthetics and order to your bathroom.
• Decoration and Decorative Candle Holder: The container can be used as a small vase or candle holder. You can also fill it with decorative stones, shells, or sand to add coziness to your interior.

Eco-Friendly Solutions – Shared Responsibility

By using HDPE and encouraging reuse, we aim to create products that are friendly both for you and the planet. Ecology is not just a matter of trends—it’s our responsibility and an approach that changes day by day the way we care for our surroundings. We believe that every bottle that is reused or recycled is a step toward a healthier environment.

Our products are an example of a thoughtful balance between functionality and ecological responsibility. We believe that together with our customers, we can build a sustainable future, and every decision made—from the choice of packaging to how it is used—has a real impact on the world we live in.
