Crowdfunding our V.2 launch
Back in late 2019, our first KANKAN pilot was launched. We wanted to test the market for a new innovation with a common object - the can - and introduce the idea that circular solutions already existed for some of the key problems we were facing when it came to waste. We are all disgusted with how we ship our waste to poorer countries, how we are obsessed with wrapping our food in plastic and how we consumer our everyday products. Surely there has to be a better way?
To garner real market insights have been invaluable, and we have spoken to many of our customers about what they like about the brand and product and what they'd like to see improved. We've had 50+ features in the press, and the idea has really connected with people. It's now time to bring our V.2 iteration to market.
Our idea has always been to innovate in the way we use the can, and in the first 6 months of trading we collaborated with Batch.works to design and submit our Can O'Dreams design to two competitions - Dezeen Awards 2019 and the Future of Hygiene both of which we were runners up in, and allowed us to be exhibited in the Design Museum.
In October 2021 we received a grant from ReLondon, to develop a pilot for our circular innovation and it allowed us to commence work with Morrama a leading product designer in London working with start-ups.
We know that people want to do good to the planet and make better choices, but we also know that people are guided by how something makes them feel, and that is why we've spent the last 18months developing a range of products that are designed to support using 100% essential oils. These are natures pure life force and come with amazing benefits for wellbeing. We are launching 10 products that cover skin and scalp health and moisture - the full bathroom amenities this Autumn.
With a new brand designed and developed by 2xElliot, and the new dispenser - both of which are yet to be revealed, AND 10 new incredible products that support the wellbeing of both people and planet, we are set to relaunch KANKAN in October 2022.
