021 Eliza Flanagan: KANKAN and the growing market for sustainable products

‘We are all looking for beauty in things all the time’

KANKAN founders Eliza Flanagan and Mary McLeod are on a mission to make refillable and reusable products convenient, appealing, and beautiful, with their liquid soap in plastic free cans.

Eliza talks on:

·       The benefit of being an MVP business and the direct feedback received from consumers early on to help shape the product.

·       Dividing the work between business partners and playing to your strengths.

·       Gaining inspiration from other businesses working in the sustainability sphere where the most important thing is not the bottom line e.g. DAME and Wild.

·       A tree is planted for every can sold – scale is the best way for KANKAN to make a huge environmental difference.

·       KANKAN is ready to grow and has big plans coming up: they are actively looking for collaboration partners and are fundraising to broaden their product range. You can also find Eliza’s sustainable recommendations by searching ‘WILD deodorant’, and ‘DAME’.
