Our Cause

The Global Soap Project collects discarded soap from hotels and reprocesses it into new bars that are given to vulnerable populations throughout the world. We work with organizations that have existing operations in these communities to ensure the soap is distributed to those in need, with the goal of improving health through personal hygiene.

With 4.6-million hotel rooms in the United States, an estimated 2.6-million soap bars are discarded every day. By participating in our program, hoteliers are diverting tons of waste from the landfill and bolstering environmental sustainability programs. Hotel managers, housekeepers and guests become more environmentally conscious and more sensitive to the needs of vulnerable populations.

We cannot accept discarded soap from individual travelers and families. Our current process requires large quantities of identical bars to ensure the perfumes, oils and other ingredients combine to create a high-quality product. If you would like to support the Global Soap Project, there are many ways to get involved.
