摘要： A laundry system for dispensing one or more ingredient compositions from ingredient reservoirs for supplying to a washing machine drum, the laundry system comprising: (i) an apparatus which comprises a dispensing device and multiple ingredient reservoirs; (ii) said multiple ingredient reservoirs comprising a recycled material and containing the various ingredient compositions in controllable fluid communication with the dispensing device and each ingredient reservoir comprising at least one ingredient reservoir identifier; (iii) said dispensing device being operable to selectively dispense portions of the ingredient compositions from respective ingredient reservoirs as a result of commands by the user to provide a dose of laundry product, and further comprising (iv) an ingredient reservoir control system for controlling said selective dispensing of respective ingredient compositions from specific ingredient reservoirs identified by respective ingredient reservoir identifiers such that the device can selectively dispense ingredient compositions from one or more identified ingredient reservoirs wherein the or each ingredient reservoir identifier comprises a data carrier for storing data regarding the condition of the ingredient reservoir and the ingredient reservoir control system is operative to modify the data stored on the data carrier.
