ENACTUS-UPEI, a club focused on sustainable entrepreneurship at the University of Prince Edward Island, has developed a unique potato soap, Spuds2Suds, which has garnered significant accolades.
After extensive research and collaboration with local farmers, the team crafted a sustainable soap from wasted potatoes, enriched with hydrating oils and vitamins, according to a report in Fresh Plaza.
Their efforts earned them first place in the Canadian Tire Environmental Sustainability Challenge and second place in the Innovation and Impact Challenge at the Enactus Regionals in Halifax. The soap is available locally, with every sale contributing a bar to a local food bank. The team is set to compete nationally in Calgary.
