Improving Lives with Soap: SapoCycle 3l32k

Send us a text In this episode we had the honor of sitting down with SapoCycle president and founder Dorothée Schiesser. We had a tour of the SapoCycle facility gaining deeper insight into the processing and logistics while meeting some of the remarkable people behind this non-profit organization. The concept behind SapoCycle is simple; collect discarded hotel soaps from participating partners and upcycle them into new soap bars that are distributed to those most in need. Due to current regulations, the soap cannot be sold. Our meeting with Dorothée was inspirational and taught us that if you lead with heart and intention, anything is possible. Thank you SapoCycle for your time and the work you do!
