New York to roll out small shampoo bottle ban at hotels
Marriot, Hilton hotels already on board with shampoo and lotion bottle ban
New York state will be mandating hotels to forgo small bottles containing "hospitality care" products such as shampoo and lotions.
The enforcement comes as a bill was passed in the New York Assembly in hopes of reducing waste.
Beginning Jan. 1, 2025, hotels with more than 50 rooms will not be able to provide toiletry bottles under 12 ounces, according to the Department of Environmental Conservation's website.
The act, which was first introduced in 2019, defines hospitality personal care product
as a product provided by a hotel and intended to be applied to or used on the human body or any part thereof for cleansing,
the legislation states.
