Biomed for the environment
One less gesture, one more commitment.
From July 1, 2026, empty 100 ml dispensers will no longer be automatically included free of charge with 500 ml products. This is not a compromise: it is a thoughtful choice to reduce unnecessary plastic, respect raw materials, and make the most of what can be reused many times.
Why we chose this path
At Biomed, we often talk about balance: balance of the body, the mind, and our daily routines. But no personal balance can be complete if the environment around us is treated as an infinite resource.
For years, the empty 100 ml dispenser has accompanied many 500 ml products as a courtesy. Today, we have taken a different view: if a bottle can be reused dozens of times, automatically including a new one in every order means producing plastic even when it is not really needed.
The most concrete form of sustainability is not adding something "green" to your cart. Sometimes, it is carefully choosing what not to add.
The problem is not just visible plastic
Plastic is useful, durable, and often necessary. However, this very durability becomes a problem when the material is used only once or multiplied without a real need.
According to UNEP, current plastic production and consumption practices pose a threat to health and the environment, and plastic waste could nearly triple by 2060 if the global situation does not change. The OECD also points out that only a limited portion of plastic waste is actually recycled.
Microplastics make the issue even more serious: they can result from the fragmentation of larger objects, disperse in water, soil, and air, and re-enter ecosystems in forms that are no longer visible to the naked eye.
Three reasons why reuse matters
Less unnecessary material produced
Every dispenser that is already available and still usable avoids a new bottle, a new cap, a new pump, and an unnecessary additional logistics step.
More value for things that last
A reusable container is not a disposable accessory. It is a tool designed to accompany multiple cycles of use.
A shared choice, not an imposed one
Those who already have the dispenser can continue to use it. Those who need one can purchase it separately at the updated price on the product page.
From July 1, 2026: what really changes
The 500 ml product remains the standard choice. The only change is the automatic inclusion of the empty 100 ml dispenser: it will no longer be added free of charge without distinction.
If you already have a dispenser, we invite you to reuse it. If you need a new travel, routine, or decanting bottle, you can add the 100 ml dispenser to your order. We are making it available at €3,00 EUR instead of €7,00 EUR because we do not want to pass on the financial burden of a decision born from Biomed's responsibility to the customer.

We do not want to be more burdensome: we want to be more consistent
The dispenser remains available for separate purchase: you can add it when needed and check its updated price on the product page.
The difference is important: we are not removing a service to save money. We are changing an automatic process that produced material even when it was not necessary. And we are doing so while still allowing everyone the option of getting a new dispenser when they need one.
The Biomed community is not just made up of people who choose products. It is made up of people who share a more conscious way of experiencing well-being.
A community of purpose
We are sure that this choice will be understood and appreciated by those who recognize Biomed not just as a brand, but as a journey of innovation, care, and responsibility.
Living well also means asking ourselves how many resources we use, how many we waste, and what small changes we can make to be more mindful. A reused dispenser does not solve the global plastic problem on its own. But a correct habit, repeated by many people, can change the way we look at the objects we use every day.
Without a healthy environment, even personal well-being loses part of its meaning. This is why Biomed will continue to develop products, routines, and operational choices that seek balance: for the individual, for the community, and for the world we share.

Frequently asked questions
Why are 100 ml dispensers no longer free with 500 ml products?
From July 1, 2026, the dispenser is no longer automatically included with the 500 ml formats. You can reuse what you already have or purchase it separately at the updated price on its product page.
Can the 100 ml dispenser be reused?
Reuse depends on its integrity, cleanliness, and compatibility with the product. Follow the instructions on the container and the formula; ask Biomed for specific cleaning instructions before refilling.
Does this choice increase the cost for customers?
From July 1, 2026, the dispenser is no longer automatically included with the 500 ml formats. You can reuse what you already have or purchase it separately at the updated price on its product page.
Why does Biomed link personal well-being and the environment?
For Biomed, personal well-being only makes sense within a healthy environment. The philosophy of balance applies to the body, the mind, and also the way we use resources.
What can I do if I already have a dispenser?
Check its integrity and compatibility before reusing it. For cleaning and refilling, ask Biomed for specific instructions; do not mix different products.
