Just Add Water: The Single Use Ain't Sexy Story | #171 - a podcast by Nathan Bush
from 2022-03-20T19:00:37
In this episode of Add To Cart, we are joined by Josh Howard, Founder of Single Use Ain’t Sexy, yes that’s the brand name, Single Use Ain’t Sexy. He has come up with a unique product which is a massive hack to save time, save money and hopefully save the planet! He calls it the Berocca for hand soap - and it’s got nothing to do with consuming it when you’re hungover, I’ll leave him to explain. In this chat we cover so much ground. From how Single Use Ain’t Sexy’s impact is made not only by reducing over 100,000 plastic bottles from circulation, but also by removing water from the supply chain. We also discuss how it took 93 discussions with suppliers before he cracked the formula, how Josh raised their initial funding from their own supporters and why he thinks Australians are a bit sick of subscriptions!
