SOAP FOR HOPE™ in India

Sealed Air has launched a soap recycling program using discarded soap from hotels which is made into reconstituted bars of soap. These are then distributed to households in poor
communities that do not have access to basic sanitation and healthcare. Access to soap is the
easiest and most cost-effective way to provide basic sanitation to these communities.
Recycling used hotel soap is not a new idea; however, the costs are usually high due to
collection, shipment, a centralized reprocessing plant and redistribution. Through an innovative
but simple cold-press method that is easy to operate, Soap for Hope™ decentralizes and brings
the initiative to communities that are located near partner hotels.
