Corvinus alumni and BME students’ joint venture wins environmental innovation award

Respray Solutions Ltd. was the first company in the world to develop and market a spray deodorant refill solution. The young people have been committed to environmental protection and sustainability from the very beginning, and their development aims to reduce the amount of hazardous waste from aluminium deodorant bottles. 

To solve the problem, they have developed a re-refillable, no-hazard propellant-free technology. The duo’s design combines innovative valve and nozzle technology with a proprietary, easy-to-use and user-friendly (re)filling machine. They now offer the world’s most sustainable spray deodorant.
