Hotel Magazine’s September feature “Passing the Buck: Who’s Really Responsible for Hotel Amenities?” highlights Clean the World’s role in tackling single use bathroom waste and pushing hotels to think beyond tiny bottles. The article shares data on guest expectations, showcases impact from partners like THE PIG Hotels, and explains how circular amenity programmes can cut waste, lower emissions, and support vulnerable communities with recycled soap and hygiene products.
Clean the World joined hotel leaders at the 2026 Master Innholders Hotel Leadership Conference in London to explore how culture, neuroscience, and smart decision making shape the future of hospitality. Through Austin Eaton’s on‑the‑ground perspective, the blog highlights why sustainability still struggles for airtime, why that needs to change, and how hotel partners can turn discarded soap and plastic amenities into measurable environmental and social impact through Clean the World’s Global Hospitality Recycling Program.
Clean the World is heading to NoVacancy London 2026 at ExCeL London, where founder and CEO Shawn Seipler will join a panel on turning hotel sustainability into real, measurable action across the UK hospitality sector.
