Zero Waste
Over the years, Bradford moved toward zero waste manufacturing by donating all soap scraps to worldwide health and hygiene initiatives through World Vision and Eco-Soap Bank. On average, Bradford donates over 200 tons of soap scraps yearly (roughly equivalent to 2 million bars).
The donations have directly helped some of the world’s most vulnerable communities, including Somalia, Zambia, Burundi, and Cambodia, where the women reform the soap into bars. The soap provides access to hygiene products, additional income, women’s empowerment, decreases lines at health clinics, and helps prevent COVID-19 transmission.
