By consuming fresh coffee, each year we produce 50 billion kilos -worldwide- of coffee grounds, natural scrub, colour and exfoliant in soap
Consumption of fresh orange juice ‘provides’ orange peels and orange oil that add value to soap as: skin boost, coloring, scent and cleaner
Natural wastestreams like coffee grounds and orange peels are not yet used structurally as high-quality resources.
SOOP has the ambition to step by step involve as many people as possible in designing and realise a clean, blue and circular economy.
September 2016: How it started
In his own kitchen, Robert-Willem Dol starts experimenting with coffee grounds and orange peels and comes up with the idea of using these raw materials in soap. The first SOOP prototypes are visible on the photo.
The founders of SOOP, Robert-Willem Dol and Noor Buur were present at the celebration of Kings’ Day on the 3th of May 2018 in the heart of Paris, where the Dutch Embassy presented an orange SOOP to all of their 400 guests. The Netherlands puts circular entrepreneurship on stage!
Our future dream
Our current linear economic system is negatively connected to nature, natural ecosystems and society in which natural waste flows are ‘treated’ as waste. SOOP uses natural waste streams as valuable raw materials for high-quality soap products and cosmetics. From waste to resource to high-quality products is a crucial building block of systemic innovation towards: a clean and sustainable economic system that is positively connected with our nature, natural ecosystems and society.
The municipality of Amsterdam has supported our SOOP concept and products from the start.
FMO is the Dutch development bank that empowers SOOP to build a better world.

"Waste is our new currency! SOOP is a circular loop! Finding resources in what others call waste -like coffee grounds and orange peels-, The result lies in your hands! We call it: SOOP for Hope” – Studenten, Haagse Hotelschool
SOOP is ambitious in upcycling organic wastestreams into high-quality
soap and cosmetics products for daily use. SOOP products make people and
natural systems healthier. Partnerships are needed to achieve this ambition.
