Maxwell has long been a fan of de-branding your home by reducing the number of branded bottles and containers of necessary cleaning products. Debranded Home is on a similar mission. In addition to How-To recipes for soap and shampoo, the site offers reusable vinyl labels to identify common bathroom products.
Maybe this is a way to solve our problem with Doctor Bronner's.



From Debranded Home">Debranded Home: "It's freeing to not be pressured to dole out extra cash to buy that product with slightly nicer packaging. And you can feel good about recycling your bottles and either buying in bulk or learning to make things yourself."
Both the Modern Pack Vinyl Bathroom Labels and the Frame Pack Vinyl Bathroom Labelsare $9 and include five labels for Body Wash, Shampoo, Conditioner, Hand Soap and Lotion. Via: NotCot.org.

Does anyone know a good source for bottles? Preferrably glass. Thanks!

You can find glass bottle in just about any thrift stores or Ebay is another good option. We are switching to glass bottles and jars for all our stuff and making it ourselves using recipes from "Better Home Basics." The recipes are pretty simple and work really well, plus we know what is in them. Until now we were using a label maker which was okay but not as nice as these labels.

How are vinyl labels and not using the bottle your product came in green?

I agree, Rebecca. I mean, isn't the "green" option here doing something like removing the labels from the things you buy, rather than running out and buying more things? And how about coming up with some ideas for ways to reuse the bottles that these products come in? I have to say, the focus of this site seems to mostly be on BETTER ways to consume, consume, consume, rather than on reducing consumption. Personally, I'd rather see more posts like the one on making a cat tree out of drawers. I'd like to focus a little more on "reduce, reuse, recycle" and a little less on "here's a new cool thing you have to buy!"
