Social Service meets Technology Technolo-
Social service provides help and support to different parts of the community, in particular the underprivileged and the underrepresented. We hold events with various non-profit organisations, hoping to make an impact socially and environmentally. Despite the pandemic, we have been very lucky to be able to organise some social service events in the past year. Under the pandemic, personal hygiene has never been more important and it has been especially meaningful to spend a morning at Soap Cycling.
Through volunteering at Soap Cycling, many of our volunteers had an eye-opening and meaningful experience, which gave us an insight into the difficulties when trying to achieve personal hygiene in less developed countries. It also reminded many of us to be more conscious of how much resources we are wasting in daily life. Many volunteers found it a fun and valuable experience as it is a very special sector of the recycling industry.

Soap Cycling works with many charities across Asia to reduce preventable hygiene-related diseases by recycling soaps from hotels and redistributing them to areas in need. Through recycling soaps, Soap Cycling aims to contribute to the MDG4 target of reducing the under-five mortality rate. Other than making a social impact, it also helps the environment by eliminating thousands of pounds of chemical wastes from our landfills.
