In France, 51 million soaps are discarded every year by hotels. It’s a shame, especially since these soaps could be reused to help people in need.
We know for sure that hotels don’t throw them away for fun, but simply because they haven’t heard of our initiative yet.
Before UNISOAP, there was no project in France allowing hotels to recycle their soaps. Today, that has changed.
Recycling your soaps is actually very simple. We know your priority is your guests. That’s why we designed our process to be as smooth and easy as possible. It works in 3 steps:
1. Your housekeeping staff collects and stores used soaps in your storage area.
2. You call us when you’re ready for a pick-up.
3. Our carrier comes by to pick up the boxes at the hotel.
That’s it. Instead of being thrown away, these soaps will be given to people in need. Pretty great, right?

By partnering with UNISOAP, you help turn waste into a resource for people in need. You make a real difference, and that matters.
Sustainability and social responsibility have become important for many clients. Recycling your soaps with us proves real commitment and shared values with your guests.
When you join as a partner, we provide communication tools to highlight your CSR initiative and perhaps encourage others to do the same.
And that’s not all: thanks to UNISOAP, you meet two mandatory criteria of the Green Key certification and benefit from 60% tax relief under French law.

Check out our Hotel CSR Guide, featuring the most inspiring initiatives from UNISOAP partner hotels: how they engage clients, rally their teams, and build real impact.
If it worked for them, it should work for you too.
Heads up, CSR teams! Did you know that solid soap is more eco-friendly than liquid soap? Contrary to common belief, we’ve seen this firsthand through our work.
Discover why in this interview with Groupe GM, the French leader in hospitality amenities.
Still have questions? Here’s what many hotels ask us:
Yes! UNISOAP is a charity and can receive donations independently of soap recycling.
That helps us extend our impact in our mission: providing access to hygiene.
Bonus: By doing so, you will also meet Criterion 4 of the Green Key certification!
We’ve put together a full set of tools in our communication kit to help you showcase our partnership.
Inside, you’ll find a UNISOAP certificate of affiliation, ready-to-use content for your social media channels, and materials to display for your teams and guests…
Once a year, we also provide a detailed report on your hotel’s impact (amount of soap collected, environmental impact, number of people helped, etc.).
Finally, we guarantee visibility on our website and the publication of a Story on Instagram and Facebook to announce the partnership.
