Abstract

With billions of liters of waste oil produced worldwide each year from cooking, waste cooking oil is a major environmental issue. Palm oil is the most widely used cooking oil in Malaysia. Despite the usefulness of palm oil, one aspect that consumers have often neglected is its disposal. Pouring used cooking oil down the kitchen sink and into the drain harms the environment. Used cooking oil can be reused in many ways, such as making soaps, candles, and renewable energy. Soaps made out of used cooking oil may sometimes be referred to as eco soap or green soap. These soaps are considered trendy nowadays and posture as a break of income. SOAPOLOGY is a soap that is made with environmentalfriendly ingredients. The three main ingredients needed to develop this product are distilled water, sodium hydroxide, and fragrance. In addition, we mix kaffir lime leaves, tea powder, and lime grass, which can be used to wash hands, clothes, and dishes. The primary purpose of soap is to promote sustainable practices in the personal care industry and address the issue of waste oil cooking. The soap is designed to effectively clean the skin, removing dirt, impurities, and excess oil, leaving the skin feeling fresh and rejuvenated. The distinctive feature of our innovative packaging is its packaging. We used biodegradable packaging, an excellent alternative to plastic that brings numerous environmental consequences. We hope the product can help save the earth, in addition to taking care of our health and earning a good income from the product sold.
