|New York (CNN Business)Used soap from Hilton Hotels is getting a second life.
The company announced Monday that it will collect used bars of soap from guest rooms across its hotels and recycle them into 1 million new bars of soap by October 15, which is Global Handwashing Day.
The project is in conjunction with Clean the World, a social organization that distributes soap to communities in need.

The used soap is “crushed, sanitized and cut into new soap bars,” according to the company.
