IHG, Unilever join forces to ditch single-use bathroom miniatures
IHG Hotels & Resorts announced a global collaboration with Unilever to replace bathroom miniatures with bulk amenities in over 4,000 hotels.
In 2019, IHG commit to all of its hotel brands removing bathroom miniatures in favour of larger-size amenities, as part of a pledge to eliminate single-use items by 2030.
Unilever’s largest brand Dove will supply full-size hand wash, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion to IHG Essentials and Suites Collection hotels, including Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, avid hotels, Staybridge Suites and Candlewood Suites.
The roll out of full-size Unilever products follows the recent launch of larger-size bathroom amenities into InterContinental Hotels & Resorts properties.
The switch to full-size formats is expected to save at least 850 tons of plastic annually in IHG’s Americas region alone.
Yasmin Diamond, Executive Vice President, Global Corporate Affairs, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “IHG is excited to spell the end of bathroom miniatures through our collaboration with Unilever.”
Unilever’s 2025 plans to help create a circular economy for plastic, includes commitments to halve the amount of virgin plastic it uses
