SOAPBOTTLE by Berlin-based designer Jonna Breitenhuber proposes an innovative solution for reducing packaging waste by combining several similar products into one multi-purpose, dissolvable object. Essentially, SOAPBOTTLE introduces bottles made from soap that can be used to contain liquid hygiene products like shampoo or shower gel. On the inside of the bottles, there's a water-insoluble layer that helps to prevent the outer soap and the inner liquid from mixing. To make using both products as easy as possible, SOAPBOTTLE also includes a reusable metal closure and a hole with a strap to make the slippery form easier to handle or hang for drying purposes.
Over time, the contents of the soap-shaped bottle will disappear, along with the biodegradable packaging itself.
