What inspired you to make this project?
We used to throw away a lot of used bar soaps and then I saw a documentary how soaps and detergents are harming our planet, so I decided to something about it. I talked to my brother and Dad we then came up with this idea of creating a eco-friendly, recyclable plastic core that will be inserted into each bar soap. We made 3D prototypes of the insert and have been using them to make bar soaps at home now. We simply use the plastic core to make new bar soaps, so we are not throwing away anything or polluting anymore.
