Millions of bars of soap are unnecessarily thrown away each day after only a few uses, so Project EcoSoap has been developed to help transform the cleaning products into a beneficial product for all.
The new Kickstarter campaign has been developed by the Eco-Soap Bank and works by diverting used bars of soap from the landfill and transforming them into new bars. The non-profit organization will provide 100 bars of soap for those in developing nations for each bar sold. The soap is zero waste because it's being diverted from entering the landfill and is crafted by women in developing nations to support their communities.
The Project EcoSoap initiative aims to help the millions of people around the world who don't have access to soap, while at the same time creating an eco-friendly product.
