MONTREAL, January 7th, 2016 – Clean the World, which recently expanded to Canada with the opening of an office on the island of Montreal, is pleased to announce a collaboration with Moisson Montr\u00e9al to ensure optimal distribution of soap recycled from Canadian hotels. Thus, both organizations now will combine their strengths to improve the health of Canadians in need.<\/p>\n

“Being well established in the Canadian food distribution system, Moisson Montr\u00e9al is the perfect choice to share the soap across Canada. The Montreal food bank is a growing organization and well structured logistically. Donations will be delivered quickly and efficiently to organizations that request them, “said Pierre Daigneault, Executive Director of Clean the World Canada and Europe.<\/p>\n

Since 2009, Clean the World distributed more than 30 million bars of soap in 100 countries by recycling 4,300 tons of discarded product. “Thanks to our collection and recycling process, we are able to create new soap and give it to people who do not have access to basic personal care products,” says Daigneault. According to him, this is only the beginning of a movement for the recovery of hygiene products, since there is a growing interest in the program as awareness of Clean the World extends in the hotel industry. “For Moisson Montr\u00e9al, this is an opportunity to work with another NPO with a unique and original sustainable initiative similar to ours, said Julie Bourbonni\u00e8re, director of communications and funding at Moisson Montr\u00e9al. She added that soap is frequently requested by affiliates, but that the available supply is not enough to meet current needs.”<\/p>\n

In Canada, the Clean the World program primarily benefits Canada’s mutual aid organizations such as food banks. Therefore, Clean the World partnered with Moisson Montr\u00e9al, which will receive all processed soap and distribute it to multiple food banks. For now, the organization divides its Canadian presence as follows: 10 percent in Quebec, 10 percent in Ontario, 20 percent in Alberta and 60 percent in British Columbia. In 2015, Clean the World globally produced more than 4 million bars of soap. That is a significant increase in terms of personal hygiene products and waste reduction. Personal cleanliness greatly contributes to better overall health and improved childhood development, which is a focus of Moisson Montr\u00e9al and Clean the World Canada.<\/p>\n

The Governor chain becomes the first hotel group in Quebec to give its support to Clean The World recycling program. “We are proud to participate in this recycling program that demonstrates our commitment to our community and reduces our environmental footprint,” says Jacques Goupil, President of Gouverneur Hotel.<\/p>\n

The CEO of Recyc-Qu\u00e9bec, Mr. Dany Michaud, welcomes the creation of this partnership that combines commitment, creativity and desire to make a difference. “This program and redistribution of hygiene products is a humane and concrete action that helps to restore pride to those who need it most, while giving a second life to a highly recyclable product. This partnership demonstrates the range of possibilities that exist for businesses and various organizations seeking to make a difference and build, through innovative actions, the Qu\u00e9bec of tomorrow. Recyc-Qu\u00e9bec raises its hat! “<\/p>\n
