Sustainable Soap Bar Packaging
This innovative design project, led by Dalal Jaber, Yangkai Zhang, and Ayesha Taher, under the guidance of Marina Perez, focused on creating a sustainable packaging solution for shampoo bars. Using tools and methods for user-cantered product / service development for circularity we created a sustainable packaging solution for shampoo bars, with a focus on encouraging healthier hair and sustainable consumer choices.
Packaging can be made in any colour but the origami method used is the same.
