BubbleNut Wash

Providing eco-friendly alternatives to petrochemical detergents using Soapnuts
2021 SEED Low Carbon Award Green Technologies India

They train women in sustainable harvesting of soapnuts, a local fruit rich in Saponins, a biosurfactant that can be used to manufacture cleaning products. Soapnuts are processed at the company’s pilot plant to extract Saponins using a patentable enzymatic process. Extracts are then formulated into organic and eco-friendly cleaning products.

The enterprise offers a ‘buy-back guarantee’ to marginalised women from indigenous forest communities in the ecologically sensitive areas in Himalayas to procure soapnuts at prices that are 600% higher than those offered by local traders.
