GDS
Group Dispenser System for the Floyd Refill Station
Did you know?
Every year, over 1.4 billion plastic soap bottles are discarded.
Of that number, half of those bottles are never reused, ending up in a landfill or worse…
In our oceans and rivers.
What do we do?
First Steps
My first step was exploring different types of reusable methods for different kinds of soaps and or concentrates.
Final Concept
Prototype
For the first iteration, the form of the dispenser and the container was one of the most important aspects. They needed to encourage interaction from potential users, and the containers needed to be easily usable and blend into a user’s home.
The dispenser system is an all-in-one system designed for consumer ease of use.
Consumers select their concentrate, place their container, and reduce their plastic use just like that.
Dispenser Interface
An effective solution to soap-based plastic pollution is the use of soap concentrates.
Concentrates are an efficient alternative to soap-based plastics.
They produce less waste, have a larger variety, and provide better price points for consumers.
