“Local produce, local use! Easy and fun to do! Stop dumping used cooking oil that blocks the drain. Upcycle and clean your home.”
Every liter of used cooking oil can become one kg of EcoSoap for household cleaning and handwashing. Join JooSoap Studio for a hands-on workshop next to a lovely greenhouse: Kääntöpöytä near Pasila, Helsinki. You will learn how to make eco-soap in a simple way, without electricity or heat. And you will also get acquainted with related environmental and health issues. We will source some used cooking oil from local restaurants in Helsinki, and you are also welcome to bring your own used cooking oil from your kitchen or nearby restaurants to test to see if the restaurant is worth trusting or not.
A total of five workshops will be organized. Every workshop is limited to 12 people; registration is required.
*Additional workshops for private group are possible and warmly welcomed by email to [email protected]
