The pod is composed of biodegradable hemp dust (Manitoba), algae (Ontario), natural waxes (US), oils and tree resins (Indonesia).

Description

Description (French)
Etee a mis au point une nouvelle propriété intellectuelle sous la forme d’une dosette de recharge compostable pour contenir des produits d’entretien ménager et des produits de soins personnels super concentrés (jusqu’à 90 % de concentration pour les marques les plus prospectées). La dosette est composée de poussière de chanvre biodégradable (Manitoba), d’algues (Ontario), de cires naturelles (États-Unis), d’huiles et de résines d’arbres (Indonésie). Etee a vendu plus de 400 000 dosettes à ce jour et estime qu’il est possible de doubler la production, notamment par l’octroi de licences à des organisations partenaires. Le principal obstacle à la réalisation de cet objectif est le taux de fuite et de rupture pendant le transport et le transfert d’odeur de la dosette aux produits de soins personnels d’Etee. L’objectif de ce projet est de réduire les fuites, les ruptures et le transfert d’odeur grâce à une formulation nouvelle et inédite.
