Besides, how would an all-paper bottle even work? Liquid soap is, well, liquid. Paper soaks through when it’s in contact with a liquid. The only other way to do such a bottle would be to use coated paper, which is less recyclable than an inner plastic bottle.
Wax. Waxed cardboard is recyclable. And biodegradable. Only reason wax paper is generally not considered recyclable is because it’s mostly used for food, where it gets contaiminated.
I see, the garbage man charm is a global thing. People in the house where i live overfill the bin, every time. The garbage men just throw everything above the lid on the floor, every time.
Can’t fault them for this though. The ones that overfill the bin couldn’t care less and even step over their own trash, to throw new trash in the bin. Other neighbors end up putting their overfilled trash from last week in the bin.
I am aware of waxed cardboard. I dismissed it because I thought that relying solely on it to store a liquid sounded a bit too ambitious. But it might work so yeah, I should have considered it.

Whenever I try to recycle waxed cardboard boxes the garbage men pull them out and toss them in my yard.
