With all the extra handwashing, have you ever wondered if bar soap is environmentally better than using liquid soap? Bar soap isn’t 100% zero waste because of the paper wrapping or cardboard box it comes in (although you can get bar soap without packaging!) But it is much better for the planet than large plastic bottles of liquid wash. Bar soaps last a lot longer than liquid soap which makes them also less expensive. Besides hand soap there are also shampoo and conditioner bars as well as solid dishwashing bars available.
