TORONTO, Canada — (Jan. 9, 2017) – Palm Holdings North America announced today it has entered into a partnership with Clean the World to collect and recycle hotel soap and bottled amenities that will help fight the spread of hygiene-related illnesses. Clean the World is a social enterprise dedicated to changing lives while simultaneously diverting hotel waste from landfills. The discarded items collected from Palm Holdings Hotel properties will be hygienically recycled and then distributed to people who are at risk of contracting preventable diseases. All Palm Holdings businesses are actively engaged in the community supporting both environmental and philanthropic causes.

“We are thrilled to announce this partnership with Clean the World and whose commitment to a long term sustainability strategy is clearly aligned with those of Palm Holdings” said Anish Taneja, Senior Vice President, Construction and Project Management, Palm Holdings.

”Our Company Culture is one which embraces inspiring all our Hotel associates and guests to support such innovative conservation initiatives and making a contribution to protect the planet and resources”

“It’s hard for most of us to imagine how important soap is to people who are struggling,” said Shawn Seipler, founder and CEO of Clean the World. “The folks at Palm Holdings get it, and we are thrilled to have them join us at this level. By making a commitment to our sustainable, socially responsible program, Palm Holdings will turn trash into treasure and help change lives around the world.”
