Capso: The Soap with a Mission

Project type

System Strategic Design Thinking

Date

Spring 2024

Location

American University of Sharjah

For my senior design capstone project, I worked on Capso: The Soap with a
Mission. This project tackled the massive issue of plastic waste, especially in the
hospitality industry. We developed an innovative system to recycle plastic waste,
turning it into high-quality, single-use soap capsules. By collecting and transforming
polyethylene waste through a process called hydrothermal oxidation, we created
eco-friendly soaps. Each soap capsule is designed to be used just once, ensuring
zero waste. The biodegradable packaging adds to the sustainability of the product.
Capso not only helps reduce plastic waste but also offers hotels an environmentally
responsible alternative for their toiletries.
