We're obviously big fans of Scott Amron: His award-winning toothbrush/waterfountain, offswitch/coathook, magnet/moneyclip, and our favorite so far, disappearing trash/trashcan. Now the King of the Hybrids brings us New Soap/Old Bottle, a product/service that buys brandname liquid soap and packages it up in reused bottles. Kinda smart. Here's the backstory:
We sell brand name liquid soap packaged in old plastic soda bottles, plastic water bottles and glass beer bottles to help clean up our environments. Each bottle is cleaned, sanitized and processed for reuse as packaging for your favorite brand of liquid soap. Big companies aren't going to do this on their own. So we'll do it for them. We buy name brand liquid soap by the barrel and package it in old bottles here in America.
Pretty great idea. 'Til he gets shut down, of course. (Maybe that disappearing trash can will come in handy then!)

you should also check out TerraCycle's (terracycle.net) line of natural cleaning products. They're packaging their cleaning products in recycled soda bottles - only it's their own brand of eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaners. They started out by packaging warm poop in used soda bottles, and now expanding to cleaning supplies and more.
Ahhh, not so smart. I love the recycling aspect, but putting it in old soda bottles, that's just asking for a kid to drink it.
