“You’ve decided it’s finally time you started wearing clean clothes again. You tear a corner off the packet of detergent a wee bit too aggressively and in the next few moments your clothes are drowning in suds. All you can see are soap bubbles, spilling out onto the floor.

Twister is a detergent packaging concept that allows the user to dispense a measured amount of powder using a simple twisting motion. It uses minimal moving parts to keep packaging costs to a minimum and is conceptualised to be manufactured from PLA based plastics so as to be biodegradable long term.
