You’re Not Saving the Planet by Recycling One Bottle

You’re Not Saving the Planet by Recycling One Bottle

Let’s be honest: you can do better than that.

We’re all for recycling. Seriously. But tossing a single body wash bottle into the blue bin doesn’t make you Captain Planet.
It’s a band-aid on a bullet wound.

You want to make a real impact?
Start by not buying the plastic crap in the first place.


♻️ The Recycling Myth

Here’s the dirty truth they don’t tell you:

- Only about 5–10% of plastic actually gets recycled.

- Most of it? Downcycled or shipped off to get burned or dumped.

- Those “recyclable” pumps and squeeze tops? Trash.

You’re not recycling. You’re delaying landfill delivery.


🧼 What We Do Instead

At Stench Soap Co., we don’t just talk clean. We build it into the damn bar.

- No plastic bottles

- No pumps, seals, or shrink wrap

- Just rugged, natural soap in recyclable or compostable packaging

And if you're local? We’ll hand it to you naked.


💥 The Real Power Move: Refuse

Want to help the planet? Don’t start with a bin.
Start by saying no to all the pointless packaging.

Bar soap isn't just nostalgic—it’s smarter. Cleaner. Harder working.
And it doesn’t leave a trail of trash behind it.


Your One Bottle Isn’t Enough.

But your next choice can be.


Ditch the plastic. Grab a bar. Wash like the planet’s watching.
