Washcloth with Bar Soap You'd expect the remains to simply be thrown in the bin. Well not anymore. With more than two million bars of soap being thrown away every day by hotels in the US alone, the Global Soap Project is stepping in to turn old into new. The Stonewall Resort in Lewis County, Virginia, is teaming up with Wal-Mart to recycle used soap from hotels and give them to the needy around the world. Resort community outreach director Samantha Norris says Stonewall will collect used soap from guest rooms and ship it to the non-profit Global Soap Project processing centre, with Mal-Mart covering the shipping costs. Impurities will be removed from the soap. More than 272 kilograms of soap will be reprocessed this year.
