Plastic wastage is a perennial problem throughout the world. In Singapore, of the 1.76 billion of plastic items used, only 6% are recycled. As students staying on campus, we wanted to understand the extend of plastic wastage coming from our soap bottles and packaging, as well as find out the feasibility of implementing a refillery system in RVRC. We executed our plan in two phases i) voluntary survey and ii) a series of soap distribution trials. Our voluntary survey found that 68% of RVRC students bought new soap bottles upon finishing, and that 500ml of soap lasted 1.5 months on average. Furthermore, our series of trials saw a total number of 112 RVRC students collecting from our distribution. Therefore, we find that our execution had achieved adequate results in proving RVRC students’ susceptibility to a soap refillery.
