The average person uses 11 bottles of shower gel and 10 bottles of shampoo a year. The majority of these products are packaged in plastic, contributing to the 300 million tons produced each year.
SOAPBOTTLE is packaging made from a traditional piece of soap that has been hollowed out. The interior is lined with a water-insoluble layer, which prevents any liquids contained within it from dissolving the soap. The content could be any liquid hygiene product. As the content within is being used, the soap packaging very gradually dissolves.
When finished, remnants can be used again as hand soap, or processed into detergents. The soap is made of natural ingredients and is biodegradable. Waste can be completely avoided!
SOAPBOTTLE was created by product designer Jonna Breitenhuber, for her master’s thesis at the University of the Arts in Berlin. It was selected for the 2019 Green Product Award.
