The Lush Bath Bot Is a Vegan, Recyclable Floating Speaker That's Out to Make a Point
Briefly

Lush's Bath Bot, a high-priced innovation aimed at the bathing experience, was significantly delayed due to the company's inexperience with electronics and the necessary certification process. Initially expected to launch sooner, customer anticipation has turned into frustration amidst concerns over unfulfilled pre-orders. The product features some ethical compromises, opting for virgin plastic for waterproofing instead of recycled materials. Despite its initial flaws, Lush believes the product's durability justifies its carbon footprint, although customers question the rationale behind its pricing compared to more affordable options from established brands.
The components in there aren't what we would deem as 100 percent ethical, but we tried our best.
If it was a single-use device or a cheap, throw-away one that broke within six months, I think that would be a different question, but we've made it to last.
