DULCE DE LA PIEL

Dulce de piel

Soaps from used oil

Dulce de piel was born from the desire to recycle one of the most contaminating food products in Spain: the oil used in houses and hospitality. Studies reveal that 20 million liters of used domestic oil end up in Barcelona's water every year. The mission of this project is to restore the value of used domestic oil and reduce its negative impact on the environment.

Dulce de Piel aims to raise awareness among citizens about the damage caused by cooking oils spilled in water and to mobilize citizens by inviting them to participate in informative and creative sessions. This project was thought up in Remix el barrio, a local circular economy program destined to gather and collaborate with different neighborhood actors to improve the management and the recycling of our food waste.

The reuse of household oil is a circular opportunity to create low-cost products like cleaning products, for laundry, cutlery, and floors, as well as body products such as shampoo and hand soap. From different recipes, Dulce de Piel seeks, in addition to used oil, to recycle waste such as fruit skins which contain antioxidant and regenerating properties for all types of skin.
