How Truly Free Home Refills Reduce Plastic Waste in Your Home

Plastic Cleaning Product Bottle Waste Adds Up

The average American family washes about 300 loads of laundry per year—that’s roughly six detergent jugs if each holds enough detergent for 50 loads. And that’s just laundry for one family. Add the spray cleaners, dish soap, and hand soap bottles for millions of households, and the pile of empty cleaning bottles grows fast.

Even when you recycle, not every empty cleaning bottle may make it through the system. Only about 29% of plastic bottles and jars actually get recycled. The rest of the cleaning product bottles are lost to contamination, sorting issues, or limited processing space, meaning most end up in landfills.

So, instead of throwing away another plastic cleaning bottle every month or so, Truly Free Home’s reusable cleaning bottles and refill systems make it easy for you to turn a wasteful cycle into a sustainable practice.

How Truly Free Home Refillable Cleaning Products Work

We designed our refillable cleaning product system to make sustainable living easier for all families. Whether you’re buying Truly Free Home Laundry Wash, Truly Free Home Everyday Cleaner, Truly Free Home Aloe Hand Soap, or any of our other plant-based cleaning products, your first order automatically includes a durable reusable cleaning bottle made from PET plastic.

PET, or polyethylene terephthalate, is the same material safely used for food and beverage packaging. We chose it for our refillable jugs and bottles because it’s:

• Strong and shatter-resistant, so it lasts for years
• Lightweight and the most recyclable plastic in the world
• Free of harmful BPA and PFAS chemicals

Once your refillable cleaning bottle is empty, you’ll only need to order refill packets to restock your favorite plant-based cleaning products—either as a one-time purchase or on a flexible subscription that you can pause, skip, or cancel anytime.

Here’s what to expect from Truly Free Home refill pouches:

• Comes in a lightweight, recyclable pouch (in most areas) with less packaging, which cuts down on CO2 emissions when shipping.
• Contains a powdered or liquid concentrate that you can easily pour into your reusable jug or bottle

It’s that easy. And because the cleaning product refill system eliminates the need for new replacement containers with every order, it’s already helped us prevent nearly 16 million plastic containers from ever being made. That’s millions of plastic cleaning bottles kept out of recycling centers and landfills.

Together, we’re proving that small choices—like refilling cleaning products instead of replacing cleaning product bottles—can make a big collective impact.
