Why Relavco

A small bar with an outsized purpose.

We're not just making soap, we're closing a loop that helps both people and the planet.

First of its kind in the GTA

No other organization recycles and redistributes soap to Toronto-area residents the way we do. We're bringing a proven global model home.

Always free to those in need

Bars go to outreach communities at no cost, which is infinitely more affordable than commercial supply, so partners can choose our initiative without budget strain.

Kinder to our waterways

By rescuing soap headed for landfill, we cut the chemical runoff that harms marine life, turning waste into something actually beneficial.

Our mission

A bar of soap can carry dignity.

According to the Region of Peel's 2024 Point-in-Time Count, 2,799 individuals were experiencing homelessness on a single night in November 2024, a steep rise from previous years. For many, access to basic hygiene remains out of reach, making it harder to remain healthy and maintain well-being.

Relavco collects partially used bar soaps that would otherwise be thrown away. We professionally sanitize and recycle them, remake them with fresh scents and colours, and redistribute half of them, free of charge, through local shelters and community organizations. The other half is sold publicly, with 100% of the profits being donated to organizations.

Programs like this exist internationally, most notably through Clean the World. None have been brought to the GTA. We're changing that.

The process

From discarded to dignified.

Every Relavco bar travels through a careful, low-waste journey before it reaches someone's hands.

01

Collect

Partially used bars are gathered from hotels and sponsors, specifically soap that would otherwise be sent to landfills.

02

Sanitize

Each bar is cleaned and sanitized to a verified standard, removing the outer layer and any contaminants so what remains is safe and pure.

03

Melt

Sanitized soap is gently melted down to a smooth, luxurious base, creating the foundation for every new Relavco bar.

04

Scent & colour

We blend in natural, stain-resistant pigments and essential-oil scents, all of which are earthy, clean, and kind to skin. No synthetic dyes, no harsh fragrance.

The shop

Buy a bar, give a bar.

Every purchase funds free soap for outreach partners, and profits are donated onward to charity.
