CASE 1 - SHAMPOO SACHET

WHY THEY ARE USED??

CHEAP IN PRICE

-because in non developed countries people wage are too low they are unable to buy the container so they generally use shampoo sachet

DEFINED AMOUNT

-parents having small children think that their child waste a lot of shampoo by taking out a lot than required hence they waste it so parents bring sachet to stop this wastage as the sachet has a defined amount

RESULTS IN??

BLOCKAGE OF DRAINS

the sachet are too small that it result in blockage of drains

UNWANTED WASTE

this unwanted waste harm the society by making the society dirty

HOW THIS PROBLEM CAN BE SOLVED??

The first that we have to keep in mind is that the product has to be in low in price

and to make this idea popular in society

we have to fulfill the basic need of public

1 we have provide them offer to attract consumer

2 we have to give more amount than usual

3 refilling

by keeping all thing in mind we have to design

hence the solution for this is-

lets take the price of one sachet be x

the usual amount of sachet bought by a family is 4-5 as per no of family

so the x bucks sachet can be converted to container having an amount of 10x sachet shampoo costing for 20x bucks (one time purchase)

hence the cost of container will be 20 x

this means empty bottle will cost 10 x

and refilling will also cost 10 x

Normal sachet contain-6 ml

this container will contain-60 ml (i.e 10 sachets)

this 10 x difference in amount of bottle and refiling will create a huge difference and large no of community will prefer refilling the bottle after use

this will deduct the cost of sachet which is added in our purchase and the amount will added in shampoo which will benefit consumer

The shampoo dispenser can be fitted in each locality or the confectionary shops where the consumer will have easy access.

now the second reason why people use the container can be proved with the push in dispenser so that desirable amount can only be taken out.

Where are you / your team located?

INDIA

How does this Idea redesign unrecyclable small format plastic items that often end up as waste?

THE CONCEPT OF REFILLING AND ONE TIME SMALL INVESTMENT ON CONTAINER WILL FINISH THE UNRECYCLABLE SMALL SACHET POUCHES

Which use cases does your Idea apply to?

In what geographical context or area does your Idea plan to operate / solve?

UNDEVELOPED COUNTRY WHERE PEOPLE WAGE ARE LOW AND THEY CANT AFFORD EXPENSIVE SHAMPOO BOTTLE

How do you envision scaling up your Idea?

The all obstacle can be overcome by providing public 1 value for money 2 more amount than usual 3 offers if the consumer stop paying the extra amount of sachet all the things will be provided to him the price will reduce as the customer now only has to give the amount of material i.e shampoo this will add in quantity in shampoo or cheaper price

Hi Divyam! Thanks for contributing your idea. I have been to India several times and would love to see a solution to reduce the single-use waste.

How would you organize the refills? This is a cost that would probably add to your calculation.
I like the idea of refill, but there is still the upfront investment of buying the container. Also, if it only holds 10x it would have to be refilled quite frequently. What about a bigger sized container that you would provide for free (could be branded and subsidized by some big company) so that the barriers for entry are low. Then the family pays for refills only?
