IVER - A BAR SOAP DISPENSER
(2020) In Diploma work IDEL01 20202Industrial Design
- Abstract
- Our oceans are filling up with plastic waste and this fact became the main inspiration for this project. I think it is important that us humans question our consumption and usage of plastic. A way to diminish the amount of plastics ending up in the ocean and nature is through a change in our behaviour and our habits. A lot of the plastics come from using single-use plastics and throwing it away. One example is our consumption of liquid hand soap, where you have to purchase the product in a plastic container. Bar soap is a sustainable substitute for liquid soap, but people are not using it because it feels unhygienic.

- Our oceans are filling up with plastic waste and this fact became the main inspiration for this project. I think it is important that us humans question our consumption and usage of plastic. A way to diminish the amount of plastics ending up in the ocean and nature is through a change in our behaviour and our habits.

Bar soap is a sustainable substitute for liquid soap, but people are not using it because it feels unhygienic. In this project I have taken upon myself to solve the issue of not wanting to use bar soap as an option for washing one's hands. Through research, testing, brainstorming, sketching, and 3D-rendering, I have developed a small portable bar soap dispenser for home use. The dispenser works similar to a liquid soap dispenser, which a lot of people are comfortable with using, and keeps the bar soap dry and safe inside of it, which will prevent the soap from looking and feeling unhygienic. The project is based on theory since I was not able to test it due to the COVID-19 pandemic, spring 2020. (Less)
