Clean the World

Donating Soap to Save Lives and the Planet

Bar soap is a low-waste product that requires minimal packaging, and it is formulated with safe, natural ingredients. These characteristics continue to fuel the bar soap category's growth and have helped it to survive being replaced by cost-conscious body washes in recent years.

With everything that bar soap has going for it, there are still opportunities to help make it a greener product category and the right choice for conscious consumers who want to minimize their impact on the planet.

In December of 2018, Twincraft Skincare launched a partnership with Clean the World, and we now donate our excess soap waste to this organization. This means that almost all of the soap scraps from the products that we manufacture at our Winooski, Vermont factory don't end up in a landfill and instead, it all goes towards supporting this amazing group.*

*Please note, we are unable to donate OTC soap products to this organization, as ingredients considered a drug by the FDA cannot be repurposed.

What Is Clean the World?

Clean the World, an affiliate of Clean the World Global, is a global leader in environmental and social impact solutions, which aims to make the world a better place by transforming soap bars and plastic amenities that the hospitality industry would otherwise discard into lifesaving, essential supplies for communities in need across the globe. With every soap and plastic amenity recycled, Clean the World reduces the impact of pollution on our planet and improves the lives of women, children, and communities globally by donating new soap bars to global NGOs, such as The WASH Foundation.

With over 8,200 participants in its Global Hospitality Recycling Program, and more than 1.4 million hotel rooms processed daily, Clean the World has already diverted over 25.8 million pounds of waste from landfills and donated over 82 million bars of recycled soap since its inception in 2009.

Twincraft Skincare's Support of Clean the World

Recycled soap from Twincraft's Winooski facility is processed, sterilized, and made into brand new, 1.75 oz bars of soap. These brand new bars are distributed through Clean the World's programs, where 1 bar of soap = 100 hand washes.

Our partnership with Clean the World extends additional partnership opportunities to our customers, too. If your bar soap brand wants to explore shared cause marketing with Clean the World, please reach out directly to your Director of Sales.

Access Our Impact Statement

What Is The WASH Foundation?

The WASH Foundation, an evolution of Clean the World Foundation, is a nonprofit organization whose purpose is to improve the quality of life of women, children, and communities worldwide by providing them with enhanced access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), as well as soap, hygiene education, microfinance programs, and health programs. The WASH Foundation partners with local governments and nongovernmental organizations to strengthen communities’ policies, systems, and infrastructure for future generations.

Every new bar of soap manufactured from Twincraft’s soap by Clean the World is donated to The WASH Foundation to improve the lives of women, children, and communities globally by promoting universal access to hygiene (1 bar of soap = 100 hand washes).
