The Rocky Mountain Soap Company, a small, Canmore-based business founded in 1995, makes natural soaps and skincare products by hand. Their goal is to use natural ingredients wherever possible, including the finest essential oils, real grains, berries, and other sources. To reduce waste, they:

• Use cardboard boxes recycled from local businesses for packaging, reducing their packaging cost by 50%.
• Reuse polystyrene loose fill and packaging peanuts.
• Eliminate inner-packing dividers in shipping containers.
• Reuse packaging plastic bags as garbage bags.
• Reuse soap ends and shavings.
