♻️♻️♻️ Such great news ♻️♻️♻️
via CBS Los Angeles:
“LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) – Those little complimentary shampoo bottles provided in hotel rooms could soon be a thing of the past in California.
... State lawmakers are proposing a bill that would ban the single-use mini bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and lotion that are often found in hotel room bathrooms.
The proposed law would reportedly go into effect in 2023 and would encourage hotels to provide products in bulk dispensers, helping to cut down on plastic waste.
Assemblymember Ash Kalra of San Jose co-authored the bill, known as AB 1162, that would prevent vacation rentals from providing products in bottles smaller than four ounces.
Supports of the bill say the bottles add so much waste to the environment that implementing the ban would prevent hundreds of millions of single-use plastic waste and also cut back on the harmful production of plastic.
Santa Cruz was the first to ban the small bottles last year.”
I recently found some 5 star London properties already leading the way in the UK:
Kimpton Fitzroy London &
Vanderbilt London Hotel

We are very excited to announce that we are the new collection partners for The Recycled Candle Company
As we are already collecting partly used soap and toiletries from London hotels it made sense to add the scrap wax collections to our route.
This makes it more environmentally friendly and enables us as a charity to raise funding towards our operational costs.
... We charge a nominal fee to collect from Central London properties and the charges will be comparable to general waste collection costs.
Hopefully hotels, churches, cathedrals, etc will see the benefits of us collecting the scrap wax rather than it ending up in landfill or being incinerated.
Below is a link to the newsletter that went out from TRCC to announce the news:

We are delighted to offer this complementary recycling activity and look forward to being of service.
PS: Just a reminder that we can deal with almost any other “end-if-life” items from hotels and to always keep us in mind before “throwing it in the bin” 👌👌👌
Many thanks
