It would be a great way to differentiate retail.

Get your authorized Tide refill at Target instead of having Amazon ship it. People don’t like glass because of the energy used to produce it, but it’s always seemed like a no brainer to me.

It is common in Japan to sell refills of shampoo and detergent in plastic sleeves:

It is still some plastic, but I assume it is less waste than a hard bottle.

You write that as if Target didn't used to sell Tide refills but gave up because nobody bought it.
