"Wish there was a smaller, DIY-grade version. Super cool. Can't imagine that plastic handset lasting long in an industrial setting, though."

"While technically true, calling plastic "recyclable" is misleading now that we know that so very little of it is actually turned into anything but garbage. At least PLA is recyclable. But I'm sure this could be done as a paper product, which could also be finished like sheetrock.I'm sure renters will looove it when PVC walls are added to the "landlord special" palette /s."

"Sure, it's technically "recyclable". But it's widely known now that used plastics are hardly ever actually turned into new products. At least PLA is compostable. And you could definitely make something similar, though perhaps less-durable, as a paper product. A paper version could also be finished as sheetrock."

"This is just greenwash if it stays patented and brand-exclusive. And it looks like the amount dispensed isn't adjustable. Bulk liquid shampoo can be stored in your choice of container; myriad sizes, shapes, and materials. Powdered toiletries are also common. Generic liquid and powder containers will almost always have "adjustable" output through squirting, pouring, shaking, etc. If retailers sold bulk product for customers' own chosen containers, that's the end of disposable packaging right there. No reason you can't have more engineered dispensing mechanisms on generic containers. What you won't get, though, is brand lock-in, which is what Small Wonder seem to actually be designing for here."
