The surprising afterlife of used hotel soap
Hotel guests leave behind millions of half-used bars of soap every day. A nonprofit is on a mission to repurpose them.
Hasnain says:
“Thanks to these efforts, hotel toiletries that otherwise would’ve ended up in landfills have been given a second use case.
Seipler has seen mothers cry with joy when they’re given soap. The small, commonplace things we often take for granted, he said, can make a world of difference when reallocated.
“I know it sounds funny,” he said, “but that little bar of soap on the counter in your hotel room — that thing can literally save a life.””
