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.

Even better to my mind. I so love shit that turns back into dirt, like literal shit.
