IHG flushes plastic

IHG Hotels & Resorts has announced it will collaborate with Unilever to replace bathroom miniatures with bulk amenities in more than 4,000 of its hotels globally.

The company will roll-out fullsize Dove liquid soap, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion to IHG Essentials and Suites Collection hotels, which accounts for 80% of its portfolio.

The move forms part of IHG’s 10-year Journey to Tomorrow responsible business plan, and brings it closer to its goal of eliminating single-use items by the end of the decade, in addition to minimising food waste and adopting circular solutions for major hotel commodity items.
