Zero Waste
Soap
Upcycling Used Soap by Local Women
Every year 75 tons of soap is thrown away by hotels and villas in Bali, maybe used only once or twice. The ZeroWaste Soap program collects, disinfects, and reprocesses these used soaps into new soaps. As a result, less waste ends up in landfills.
It also offers training and employment for women from the local village of Sawangan, who produce the soaps. The up-cycled soaps are distributed to those in need.
