Charles Honour

Soap Aid Manufacturing Expert

Charles Honour played a key role in the early development of Soap Aid’s soap recycling process. Drawing on his extensive manufacturing experience, Charles led the initial trials in Mumbai, testing hotel-returned soap on locally sourced machinery. Once the process proved successful, he helped procure and refine equipment from India, Taiwan, and China to support large-scale production.

To ensure the safety and quality of the recycled soap, Charles oversaw rigorous testing by independent laboratories. The results confirmed that the finished product met the same standards as virgin soap and was safe for use.

Now retired, Charles remains a passionate supporter of Soap Aid and our mission to improve hygiene access through sustainable solutions. His foundational work continues to shape the organisation’s impact today.
