Saving the earth with dried detergent

SMU alumni Clewyn Puah and Jeremy Lee are two entrepreneurs who hope their "detergent tablet" will replace dishwashing liquid in wasteful large plastic bottles. Their dehydrated cleaning product could cut the amount of plastic packaging by as much as 90 per cent, and lead to lower carbon emissions through the reduced shipping volume and weight, they said. Their Team SimplyGood project was one of five selected last year by OCBC Bank – out of 67 projects – to receive funding from the #OCBCCares Environment Fund.
