HOW IT ALL STARTED
A LITTLE HISTORY
History of Portside Soap
The Junction Co. introduced Portside Soap, a creative start-up, as a direct response to the shortage of appropriate hand-washing supplies across the Pilbara as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020. This was supported by the BHP Vital Resources Fund.
The vision of Portside soap was to supply an all-natural, low-cost soap to Pilbara communities and businesses, and also provide an employment opportunity to someone affected by job loss as a result of COVID-19.
This project is managed by the Junction Co. and was founded as part of the Portside precinct activation project.
