The hotel firm says it is expanding its scheme to replace small plastic shampoo, conditioner and bath gel bottles with larger pump bottles.
To date, around 1,000 Marriott properties in North America have made the switch. Marriott now expects “most” of its other hotels to follow suite by December 2020.
When fully implemented, the initiative will prevent around 500 million bathroom miniatures – approximately 770 tons of plastics – going to landfill. The move will reduce Marriott’s current amenity plastic usage by around 30% annually.
Marriott’s pledge follows a similar move by fellow hotel giant IHG late last month.
