We’re Global!
Clean the World’s soap and bottled amenity recycling program has expanded to more regions! United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, European Union, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Taiwan, and more.
HOW CLEAN THE WORLD IS
Changing the World
- Pneumonia and diarrheal disease are two of the leading causes of death among children under 5 years old.
- According to the World Health Organization, millions of young lives could be saved with access to bar soap and hygiene education.
- More than 2 million bars of partially used hotel soap are thrown away every day in the United States.
- By recycling soap and other discarded hygiene products, Clean the World saves lives with items that traditionally end up in landfills.
Shop Wash Your Hands, Bro Shirts!
Every purchase of a “Wash Your Hands, Bro” shirt donates life-saving bars of soap to people in need. Handwashing with soap can reduce death rates from pneumonia and diarrhea by up to 65%, which means your purchase has the power to save lives and make a positive impact on the world.
Our Social Enterprise
Hotels generate large volumes of solid waste. A waste reduction program with soap and bottled amenity recycling can protect the environment, preserve natural resources, and reduce costs. Stop throwing away slightly used soap bars and plastic bottles used by guests! We recycle them and SAVE LIVES!
