Clean Wave – From Dream to Reality
Clean Wave was created with one mission in mind: to make sustainable living simple. The focus? Eco-friendly laundry products that reduce plastic waste and energy use — without sacrificing quality. But launching a product like this required more than just a good idea. It needed the right materials, the right formula, and the right partner to make it happen.
🧩 The Challenge
Clean Wave aimed to launch with two unique laundry care products:
- Laundry Detergent Sheets with plant-based, water-soluble ingredients
- Color Catcher Sheets made with a custom blend of soft but effective fibers
The challenges:
- Finding a factory that could produce according to Clean Wave’s eco standards
- Keeping MOQs low for testing and small-batch production
- Developing custom packaging that reflected the brand’s sustainable mission
