Process
Clean the World implements its mission through: (i) collecting, sorting and processing discarded soap, shampoo and lotion product donations from participating hospitality partners; (ii) recycling these product donations at its facilities in Orlando, Florida; and (iii) delivering these recycled product donations to domestic homeless shelters and impoverished countries suffering from high death rates due to acute respiratory infection and diarrheal disease.
Since its inception, Clean the World has been steadily increasing its services and operations to accommodate rapidly expanding community needs, awareness and donations, and has accepted in-kind donations of more than $150,000. In the process, Clean the World has put over 21,000 soap bars and 50 gallons of shampoo and conditioner back into human use, simultaneously eliminating over 4 tons of waste.
Clean the World is supported by through hospitality partnership program fees, sales of recycled product donations and monetary charitable contributions received from supporting individuals and organizations worldwide.
As of July 2009, Clean the World had 13 total employees and 9 total volunteers. Clean the World’s volunteers have donated approximately 400 cumulative hours of service to our cause, the majority of them enhancing employment marketability through on-the-job experience and extensive training.
Recycling Operations
How do we do it?
First we work with our Hospitality Partners to educate their staff on the soap and shampoo Recycling Program. We provide bins which housekeeping staff uses to deposits collected soap. Pick up the bins weekly. We provide online training videos, housekeeping instruction posters, and collection bags.
The soap is taken to our Soap Recycling plant. We use two Recycling Methods: Re-batching and Sterilization
About Re-batching
Re-batching applied to 30% moderately to heavily used bars. Soap is cooked to remove all impurities. Soap is re-formed into 2 ounce bars
About sterilization
Our proprietary sterilization process is applied to 70% of the slightly used bars. The soap soaks in a sterilization solution and is then treated with a steam/pressure combination.
CTW test the soap’s pH level and cools it for packaging.
Does it work?
Tri-Tech Laboratories tested our recycling process. They provided infected soap which we ran through the process. Tri-Tech then tested it for sterilization. They found that our process completely eliminated the pathogens (Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aerogenes, Salmonella typhymurium, Staphylococcus aureus)
