What is soap recycling?

Before the event, the charities have collected slightly used soaps, leftover bottled shampoo and body wash donated by hotels. Volunteers helped to sort and clean them by scraping the surface of the soaps, pouring the leftover shampoo and body wash to separate storage containers and refill the smaller bottles and repack them into old mooncake boxes, which will then be delivered to the third world countries and distributed to the underprivileged communities.
