Benjamin Stern is the CEO and founder of Nohbo Company. Stern came up with his idea when He was in the ninth grade after watching a documentary about the effects of plastic waste. Stern came up with the idea of Nohbo which is a plastic free way of getting shampoo to the consumer. Stern saw the way different laundry detergent pods worked and came up with an idea to bring that kind of technology to shampoo and hygiene products. The product is a bio-degradable ball that holds shampoo. Stern was all in on his idea, He worked different jobs to fund the project and then also invested his college savings into the company. Stern is currently trying to get his product into major hotel chains as well as investigating whether his bio-degradable ball can be used with other products such as shaving cream and sunscreen. This young entrepreneur and company is one that I think we will hear about a lot more in the future. So be on the lookout for Nohbo drops and other plastic free ideas for hygiene products.
The environment is a great call for innovation. God only gave us one earth, and he expects us to love and care for it.
The problem of plastics and pollution is so real. It’s so encouraging someone is taking this issue seriously and coming at it in a really creative way. I would actually probably try this shampoo ball so I could save on buying and throwing away plastic. Such a neat idea.
