There are few people who have not experienced the inconvenient process of trying to extract the remaining vestiges of shampoo or conditioner from a bottle. It can often be impossible to use the entirety of a shampoo and conditioner bottle and as a result, the product can be wasted. The plastic coating engineered by [Ohio State](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-sneaker-collection) researchers will resolve this problem. The coating repels liquids that are repellent to oil and soap and allow [soap products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/niul-cosmetics) to easily slip off, making it one that could soon be used in [shampoo, conditioner and even lotion packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twist-tottle). This new scientific development will convenience most consumers and prevent wasteful spending. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 93% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Non-stick Packaging:** The plastic coating technology creates non-stick packaging for products like shampoo, conditioner, and lotion, minimizing waste. - **Liquid Repelling Coating:** The development of a liquid repelling coating allows for efficient extraction of product from bottles, reducing waste and saving money. - **Improved User Experience:** The non-stick shampoo bottles provide a more convenient and enjoyable user experience, improving customer satisfaction. ### Who This Affects Most - **Personal Care Products:** The non-stick packaging innovation can disrupt the personal care products industry, improving product efficacy and reducing waste. - **Packaging Manufacturing:** The liquid repelling coating technology presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the packaging manufacturing industry, enhancing sustainability and functionality. - **Consumer Goods:** The non-stick shampoo bottles contribute to the disruption of the consumer goods industry by providing innovative packaging solutions that enhance usability and minimize waste. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bottle-Shaped Shampoo Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dissolving-bottle.md) - [Eco-Friendly Dissolving Shampoo Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dissolving-bottles.md) - [Accessible Self-Sealing Soap Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dawn-ezsqueeze.md) - [Swipe-On Solid Shampoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seabar.md) - [Aluminum Cleaning Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cleancult-aluminum-bottles.md) - [Eco-Friendly Food Coatings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-coating.md) - [Elevated Pet Care Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/furminator.md) - [Peelable Dissolving Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dissolving-bottle.md) - [Personal Care Refill Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-1.md)
