I mean, you could make a simple and cheap bottle out of aluminum probably? We had shampoo before the widespread usage of plastic bottles, though you are right that they used to come in glass. Perhaps we could use that fancy unbreakable soviet glass. Sounds like a good business idea actually.. Edit: Actually thinking about it, that really is a good business idea. If anyone wants to build that business with me, email me at the address in my bio.

These exist for cosmetics[1], though the pump is still plastic. Would work fine for other shower products too. [1] https://www.amazon.com/Calvin-Klein-one-Skin-Moisturizer/dp/B000C21050 https://www.amazon.com/Calvin-Klein-one-Skin-Moisturizer/dp/...

You just have to convince the vast majority of people that the extra expense of the container is worth it to them. I have taken a very unscientific poll, and a very few number of people would want glass containers. You have to realize that people commenting on HN are not the mass public. The polls I've done were just asking during specific skincare product related conversations. The vast majority were onboard for paraben/phthalate free products made from plant based ingredients, but the no plastic issue was not something people felt strongly about at all.
