Artichoke Waste Soap Packaging

This 'Packioli' zero-waste packaging has been designed by Alara Ertenü as an eco-friendly soap product that would help to elevate the everyday essential into a sustainability powerhouse.

The soap packaging is characterized by its plastic-free design that's achieved using artichoke leaves, which have been combined with pea pod bioplastics. This would keep the soap hygienically contained and would rip open with ease when exposed to running water. The packaging is given a touch of color using turmeric and beetroot.

The 'Packioli' zero-waste packaging gives personal care products a more sustainable profile and also makes use of a common organic waste material. This is due to the fact that artichoke waste makes up 80% of the vegetable, which thus renders it abundant and ready for recycling.
