Method Hand Soap Refill

San Francisco-based Method is coming out with a new design for its liquid hand soap refill packaging.  The new packaging also marks the release of the much awaited refill for their popular foaming hand soap.

Sustainable is Good reported back in January, the new soap packaging design was coming.  Method decided to change the design of its liquid hand soap refills due to concerns over readability of its earlier clear design.

The new design features the same pouch from Winpack International and a white base color with colorful photos depicting the relevant soap bottle the refill is for.

According to a Method spokeswoman the new packaging is currently making its way onto store shelves.  She said the transition to the new packaging will be gradual implying existing stock will be used up and then replaced with the new design.

Too bad you can't find Method Hand Soap refillable bags anywhere at all. A company so determined to appear worried about the environment sure does make it difficult for you to actually care about the environment. Every store I've been to in the Seattle area that carries soap, I have been unable to find refillable soap bags. Amazing.

I guess they make a lot more money when you have to buy individual plastic soap dispensers.

Hi John - I don't know if you live near a Target, but that's where I buy my Method refills. They have a few different scents for about $4. Hope that helps.

Hey guys,

I just bought a refill bottle at Costco - i refilled all the 3 10oz bottles i have but now instead of foam i get liquid soap, am i doing anything wrong? or maybe using the wrong refill??

Thanks for any advice.

I love the white tea hand soap and it's square dispenser but hate to pop for $4 for another one. Not to mention that this has got to be bad for the environment. When and where can I get a refill????

Love your handsoap but where is the refill. Are you really enviornmental? Too much plastic.

I love your soap products but haven't been able to find the refills at any stores in Tampa, I have made it a crusade to locate the refills but to no avail. I will have to switch to another soap unfortunately. Poor planning and marketing in my estimation.

I just hope the plastic used is environmentally friendly too.

Packaging is a very important marketing strategy to glamorize your product in order to attract the consumer’s attention. Sometimes packaging is so important that it cost more than the product itself in order to lure the consumers to buy it. Packaging should definitely be included in the 4 major P’s of marketing (product, place, promotion and price).
