CleanConscience™

Every day, millions of bars of soap are discarded by hotels worldwide. Every year, 1.7 million children die from disease and infection. Half a million of these children could still be alive if they had soap to wash their hands. The plastic from empty or half-full bottles of hotel toiletries cannot currently be recycled, despite being manufactured from expensive recyclable PET or HDPE. The UK waste industry’s infrastructure is simply unable to capture this waste stream. These bottles all end up in landfill or are being incinerated. CleanConscience offers the UK hotel industry a chance to reduce its environmental impact and save lives. Collected soap is sorted, sterilised, reshaped and distributed to those in need of sanitation. Recovered plastics are baled and sent for recycling. Impact is measured and reported.
