Upcycling

Together with a network of partners, the upcycled soaps are distributed to improve the sanitary conditions of families in need within Switzerland and abroad.

A Responsible Circular Project

SapoCycle is proud to partner with the best hotels of Switzerland and France. These hospitality specialists want the best for their customers and for the environment. By sending their discarded solid soaps to SapoCycle, they prevent this valuable product from going to waste.

In our ateliers in Basel (Switzerland) and in Colmar (France) a dedicated team of adults with disabilities carefully cleans, grounds and upcycles the soaps into our iconic Hüüsli.

We collected more than 29’000 kg of used soap that was upcycled in our ateliers into 200,000 new soaps to be distributed among people in need.

Together with a network of partners, the upcycled soaps are distributed to improve the sanitary conditions of families in need within Switzerland and abroad.

How you can help

For every 10 CHF or Euros spent in our Donate Store, you enable us to provide soap to a family for one year.

100 CHF/Euros allows 6 workers with disabilities to upcycle between 80-120 soaps.

Our objective is to raise 20.000 CHF/Euros through our donate store; providing 2’000 families with soaps for one year.

These partners spread the word

"I wish you could have seen some of the people’s hands that were reaching out for the soap bars to realize how much needed the soaps actually were. The poor sanitary situation leads not only to dirty fingernails, a breeding ground for bacteria, but hands were also flagged with insect bites, infected scratches and even scabies."
