The Hotels to Hands circular economy soap recycling program, run by Victorian charity and social enterprise Soap Aid, works with accommodation providers to collect, sort, clean and reprocess their soap into fresh, hygienic soap bars that are then distributed to targeted communities.

Between 2021 and 2022, Soap Aid saved more than 10 tonnes of soap from landfill and made 80,000 new life-saving bars. This saved 14.77 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions and 6,204 litres of fuel.
