Why Aluminum?
Aluminum’s longevity, recyclability, and variety of colour finishes make it an excellent choice for fine home and bathroom goods. Despite aluminum’s long lifespan and corrosion resistance, it is fully, and easily, recyclable. Aluminum is also easy to clean. Otagai Designs’ soap savers have an anodized finish to further protect the surface which also allows beautiful finishes in rich colours. Otagai Designs encourages you to use our products for their full life, then recycle them for the material to be remade into other goods.
