Appropriate Design Solutions for Liquid Soap Packaging in Uganda

From Soap Project Development at Ned.com

Packaging cottage industry scale liquid soap is the challenge. Commercially available bottles are expensive. Recycled water bottles are a smart option, but the availability isn't always assured.

One idea is to package liquid soap in plastic bags or plastic tubes.


Two essential challenges to this method of packaging are:

1) A valve system for dispensing soap.

2) Mechanical protection of the bag.
