6.7 million plastic canisters per year are used for soap in puplic spaces in germany!
Our solution: paper soap, nothing more than water-soluble paper, coated wafer-thin with soap. Dissolves completely on contact with water and the pre-portioned soap remains. Environmentally friendly, edible and does not pollute the waste water.

To make the paper soap portionable through a dispenser, we have developed our own technique. In the meantime, this technology is beeing improved and revised to such an extent that the soap dispenser is operated contactlessly. However, a utility model or patent is still pending for this technology, which is why it may not be shown here.

The slider are loosely mounted and slightly slanted to suggest a pulling movement. The user interacts with the soap dispenser through the push handle on the side and thus receives the pre portioned paper soap.
We already saw potential in the product during the semester and therefore took part in the business workshops at the HfG in order to develop not just a product, but a viable business idea. At the end of the semester, in front of a jury of banks, industry professionals and start-up funding , we won bronze at the university founding award with our elevator pitch. We are continuing the work on the project since two years to make it ready for the mass market.
