Marriott International announced Wednesday that it will discontinue single-use bottles of shampoo, conditioner and bath gel at its 7,000 properties worldwide.
The world’s largest hotel chain will replace the small bottles with larger pump-topped dispensers by December 2020.
Marriott estimates that the switch will prevent an estimated 1.7 million pounds of plastic going to landfills each year.
“Our guests are looking to us to make changes that will create a meaningful difference for the environment while not sacrificing the quality service and experience they expect from our hotels,” CEO and President Arne Sorenson said in a statement.
Marriott began the process of swapping out small bottles at about 1,000 of its North American locations, and will now expand the initiative to its worldwide properties.
