In the viral TIk-Tok video, a refiner grates the cleaned used bars of hotel soap. (Image: Science Insider\/Tik-Tok)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe TikTok video claims that \u201cthousands of hotels around the world\u201d participate in the soap recycling program, though it doesn\u2019t name any.<\/p>\n
Clean the World\u2019s website lists headquarters in Las Vegas and Orlando. This makes sense since they\u2019re the cities with the most hotel rooms, not only in the US, but in the world.<\/p>\n
A 2011 press release posted on the company\u2019s website listed Caesars Entertainment, The Venetian\/Palazzo, and Wynn\/Encore as Las Vegas partners in its recycling program.<\/p>\n
Clean the World didn’t return an email seeking more information from Casino.org.<\/em><\/p>\nDoesn’t Wash<\/h2>\n
Just because some Las Vegas resorts contribute soap to Clean the World for recycling doesn’t mean that they also distribute the end product to their guests.<\/p>\n
A deeper dive into the organization shows it to be an independent nonprofit founded by Shawn Seipler in 2009 to improve the quality of life for vulnerable communities around the world.<\/strong><\/p>\nAnother video<\/a> about Clean the World\u2019s soap recycling, posted to YouTube by the channel Insider Business, specifically states that the old soap bars are recycled \u201cinto a brand new one for people in need.\u201d<\/p>\nPeople in need are not known to check into Las Vegas Strip resorts.<\/p>\n
