It’s easy in these dark economic times to wallow in misery and wait for a handout from the federal government. Whatever happened to that “Can Do!” American spirit that put a man on the moon, and bacon in pre-wrapped packaging? Thankfully there are some keeping the flame of invention alive, and working to make an honest buck along the way. Witness Newsoap, bringing you new soap in recycled packaging.
While most of us are probably trying to cash in our glass bottles for a deposit or refund, the folks at Newsoap are cleaning them and filling them with name-brand hand soap, for sale to citizens like you and me.
We sell brand new liquid soap packaged in old plastic soda bottles, plastic water bottles and glass beer bottles to help clean up our environments.
Each bottle is cleaned, sanitized and processed for reuse as packaging for your favorite brand of liquid soap.
Heck, they even offer to buy your old glass and plastic bottles from you! No more messing around with the hassle of recycling!
Good on yer, Newsoap! Keep up the good work!
That’s… actually kind of cool. Let’s be honest though, if you’re ordering it from their website, you’re probably hurting the environment more because of packaging to ship it, and then someone has to deliver it to your home. It would be a lot better if they would sell these next to the regular bottles of soap in supermarkets. If I saw this for sale in Walmart, I’d probably get it.
I wonder if it’s any cheaper for them to do this – mass producing these bottles will bring the cost down to a few pennies, can they acquire these bottles for that much or less and also clean it for that much? They’d have to remove the label as well, right?
How long till some idiot drinks a bottle of soap.
I hear next they’re going to recycle used eye drop bottles for superglue dispensers.
Pshh.. Just make your own soap by rendering down your arch enemies.
