JOIN THE RIPPLE TRIBE
CONTRIBUTE MILK CARTONS
Your empty milk and juice cartons can carry a bigger message before they become trash.
By cleaning, saving and contributing them, you help us turn a common household waste material into useful packaging and start more conversations about what we consume and discard.
This is a collective effort for our shared planet, which is why we call them contributions, not donations.
10,000+ milk cartons given a second life since 2019.

How long will my bar last?
With daily use on face and body, each bar should last around one month or more.
How long it lasts depends on how often it is used, how much water it is exposed to, and whether it is allowed to dry properly between washes.

Your soap may have arrived in an upcycled milk carton.
Thank you for being open to packaging that looks a little different. By giving these cartons another useful life, we reduce the need for newly made packaging and keep perfectly usable material in circulation for longer.
A little less polished. A lot more purposeful.
