ShampooBars.nl saves the planet 1.5 million plastic bottles: Lyan guest on Groen Goud

Over six years ago, Mark and Lyan developed the first plastic-free Shampoo Bar in the Netherlands.

From that cautious start during their student days, Shampoo Bars grew in a few years into a leading brand in plastic-free showering. And if Lyan and Mark have their way, many more plastic packages will disappear from Dutch bathrooms in the future.

After a few years of scaling up and expanding, Shampoo Bars has become a multi-million-euro company. This translates not only into millions in revenue but also millions of plastic bottles that have been saved together with the Shampoo Bars Family. The ambitious plan of two students is now a successful company with a close-knit team, innovative products, and a lot of entrepreneurial spirit.

In this latest episode of Groen Goud, Lyan talks about both past choices and her future ambitions.
