The Challenge

Understanding the packaging problem in soaps


The personal care industry generates massive environmental waste. American outdoor enthusiasts create over 2.6 million pounds of packaging waste on public lands annually equivalent to filling 43 school buses with plastic bottles and tubes. Despite their environmental values, these same consumers continue purchasing products with unsustainable packaging.

Irish Spring Advantage: Leverage 50+ years of trust and masculine positioning in the market

Perfect Timing: The sustainability shift creates an opening for a trusted brand to lead the transition
