In ninth grade, Benjamin Stern began developing a unique solution to reduce plastic waste out of his love for nature in his biology class. He started to create eco-friendly personal care products that consist of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap, and shaving cream. They are single-use packets that do not use any plastic packaging and dissolve in water. This invention led to the creation of his sustainable startup called Nohbo. An additional benefit is that Nohbo drops do not contain harsh chemicals, sulfates, or parabens. Benjamin pitched his product on Shark Tank, leading to Mark Cuban investing in his idea. Many companies have partnered with Nohbo after its success and innovative ideas. Benjamin is still the CEO of his company and works on new innovations to reduce plastic pollution.
Nohbo’s mission states, “At our core we’re a material science company innovating on ways to solve the plastic waste problem.”
