Instead of disposing the barely used soap bars left by guests, our partner hotels keep those aside for us to collect every two weeks.

The outer layer of the soap bars collected is manually scraped off, the bars are then cut into smaller pieces that are thoroughly washed.

The soap pieces are molten in boiling water with ethanol added for disinfection.

The disinfected soap is then blended together into a thick paste.

The concentrated blend is then diluted with water and then stirred and stored, ready to be distributed.

We packaged the liquid soap in used water bottles or allowed people to buy it directly in their own containers.
