This cute soy sauce pouch could get rid of plastic packets for good

Heliograf designed a sustainable alternative to the plastic, fish-shaped soy sauce bottles commonly used for sushi takeout. The new design, called the Holy Carp dropper, is made entirely from compostable bagasse pulp. This innovative dropper consists of two pieces that snap together, with the fish-shaped lid designed to decompose in weeks. The dropper dispenses soy sauce from an opening under the fish's eye, offering a convenient, in-house filling solution for restaurants. It is capable of holding soy sauce for up to 48 hours, making it perfect for takeout purposes. The Holy Carp dropper features a larger capacity, holding 12 milliliters of sauce, addressing the issue of customers typically taking multiple plastic bottles. This initiative aims to tackle the significant environmental impact caused by billions of plastic fish bottles used since the 1950s. The design was created in collaboration with Vert Industrial Design House after a previous project focused on compostable alternatives. This project built upon their earlier work on the Light Soy lamp, which aimed to raise awareness about single-use plastic waste. The environmentally friendly design offers a practical and appealing solution for sushi restaurants and consumers. The Holy Carp dropper provides a functional and aesthetically pleasing alternative to address the plastic waste generated by single-use packaging.
