Liquid Wood Soap Case Big

This soap case made of liquid wood looks and feels like plastic but is a 100 % natural material. The name is liquid wood and it is a bioplastic made of the waste product of the paper industry. Of which we definitely have enough!

The Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology (ICT) and their sister company Tecnaro developed the material in 1998. They called this new material “Arboform”. Basically it is a combination of lignin, natural resins and fibres such as flax or hemp.

With its durability and flexibility it is a viable substitute for crude oil based plastics. But unlike plastic it has the aesthetics and environmental advantages of wood. It breaks down quickly and so is an easily recyclable and biodegradable alternative. It is also suitable for vegans because it doesn’t contain any animal products and doesn’t involve any animal testing.
