We all like a vacation and the most important thing about it is to book a hotel room. The hotel management provides us with soap, lotions, and other toiletries. But have you ever thought about what happens with all those leftovers after we vacate the room?  In this video of 3 minutes of 45 seconds, we’ll see how clean the world, a non-profit organization works for recycling used soaps, lotions, and other toiletries collected from hotels and donate them.

Shawn Seipler used to stay in about150 hotel rooms a year. One day he thought that what happens to all half-used soaps he leaves behind? When he inquired, he came to know that all soaps just get tossed. In 2009 he started clean the world from a one-car garage in Florida. With the help of friends, potato peelers, meat grinders, and cookers, he found a way to recycle used bars soaps into new ones. Since 2009, clean the world has distributed more than 50 million bars soaps to people in 127 countries. Today they have established their recycling facilities in Orlando, Las Vegas, Hong Kong and works with 8000 hotel partners including Walt Disney World hotels, Marriott, and Hilton.

Recycling process of used soaps:-
The hotel staff members are trained for the collection and recycling process. Housekeeping collects the used bars, lotion bottles, and deposits them into special bins are transported to one of the recycling centers. There the toiletries are sorted before entering the first stage of recycling. For bar soap, its first surface is cleaned to eliminate all the pathogens. Then the sterilized bars are ground up and put through a manufacturing line where they’re re-moulded into new bars. Once they are boxed onto pallets, the bars are distributed to homeless shelters, organizations, and people in need around the world.

Clean the world has kept 20 million pounds of soaps of hotel waste from polluting North American landfills since it was found. An initiative that ensures that your once-twice used soap won’t go to waste
