Yeah I did some digging and it seems well-intended but its just done really poorly and misleading. From what I can tell, because of the paper outer protective layer, they were able to use a lighter plastic layer on the inside layer reducing the amount of plastic used. If not for the plastic on the inside, I don’t know how you’d really keep the bottle from disintegrating from all the liquid inside.
I do think that they were lying about not seeing how people could misinterpret what they thought they were saying with the bottle. Obviously some people are going to look at something saying “This is a paper bottle” and think that means the whole bottle is paper. I would’ve assumed some sort of chemical/hydrophobic coating on the inside which might not be great for the environment either. But them saying they didn’t expect people to misinterpret it is dumb.

Wax?
How about a ceramic or glass one that you refill?
The refills themselves can also be a glass bottle that you fill at the store or something
Sure, but that increases weight and cost. It’s certainly an option though.
I’ve always thought about this. If there was a like a soda machine, with shampoo, dish soap, etc I could refill at, I’d definitely use it.
Yeah, that would be rad. Some stores do that for water and peanut butter and whatnot, but I haven’t seen soap.
Not if you keep using the same bottle for refills, that’s the entire point
Sure, but how much does that actually happen?
Almost never because it’s not a thing
If government outs rules to make it a thing it’ll. Happen everywhere
