Inside SoCal | Recycling Further (10/13)

In Southern California, a couple, Megan and Marshall Dostal, have taken their recycling efforts to a new level by converting their vehicle from diesel to vegetable oil. This innovative approach not only reduces waste but also led to the creation of a new soap company called Further Products. The process of converting vegetable oil to diesel generates glycerin, which serves as the primary ingredient in their range of products, including soap, lotion, shampoo, and cleanser. The couple sources the vegetable oil from local restaurants, preventing it from being discarded as waste. Their commitment to sustainability is evident in their zero waste discipline, which reflects their passion for reusing and recycling. The products they create are not only effective but also environmentally friendly, with appealing scents thanks to Megan's expertise in product formulation. This initiative highlights the potential of recycling and innovation in creating sustainable business practices.
