“Hotels throw out millions of bars of used soap every week,” “But they don’t have to go in the trash.
“Today Shawn Seipler’s company, Clean The World, runs a factory that can handle thousands of bars an hour.
“The used soap comes from thousands of hotels around the world.”
The process begins by placing the used bars into a machine known as a machine called a refiner, which grates the used bars and removes any dirt and hair present on the top layer.
After that, the refiner produces elongated strands that are noodle-like strands, which are subsequently heated and blended with water.
They are also bleached for seven or eight minutes to kill bacteria.
