Hi Joe- This is a recent change with our Free & Clear Dish Liquid- it will no longer come with a foil seal. We made the decision to remove the foil seal to improve manufacturing efficiencies and reduce waste. Historically, only the Free & Clear version of our Dish Liquid came with a seal. The seal cannot be recycled or reused so it must be thrown in the trash. Though the foil seal is a very small part of the packaging, last year alone, we sold almost 6 million bottles of Free & Clear Dish Liquid, so that is 6 million seals ending up in our landfills. Now, our Dish Liquid bottles are made from 100% recycled plastic (including the caps!) and are fully recyclable. If we can be of assistance, please feel free to reach out to us directly: 1 (800) 211-4279 | info@seventhgeneration.com
