Unless you plan on holding up in a hotel room for an extended period of time, it’s safe to say that complimentary bar of soap won’t get used up. But where does that soap go after the hotel guests are gone?

Peachtree Hotel Group is an Atlanta-based management company with approximately 30 properties, primarily in the Southeast. We’ve enjoyed getting to know the team at Peachtree over the last few months. The company has a fully engaged marketing team with a sincere interest in engaging with guests and extending their hospitality through social media.
Through its active online presence, Peachtree connects with guests and engages with the communities they serve. For example, the Facebook page for the Fairfield Inn & Suites in Valdosta, Ga., recently provided information about special rates for theme park visitors, and for students at a local university.
Peachtree is dedicated to excellence and loyalty. We’re excited to partner with a company that is both dynamic and growth-oriented, yet still recognizes the importance of people and community.

| Marriott’s Spirit to Serve 2014 in Orlando. |
Just two years after Marriott International became an official Clean the World partner in 2012, the hospitality company has achieved a major recycling milestone. The total amount of soap contributed by Marriott hotels is enough for us to manufacture 1.5 million bars of recycled soap.
Marriott has a comprehensive set of initiatives and practices in place to drive down operational costs as well as reduce energy use, water consumption and waste. To help mitigate environmental impact, the company is investing in a portfolio of innovative conservation initiatives as part of its “Spirit to Preserve” environmental strategy.
Nearly 63,000 Marriott rooms are involved in our recycling program. The properties have contributed more than 271,000 pounds of soap – which is enough to create 1.5 million bars of recycled soap. Marriott has contributed 175,000 pounds of bottled amenities for use in ONE Project hygiene kits.
In June, Clean the World had the honor of participating in Marriott’s Spirit to Serve during the company’s 31st Annual Association Masters Conference at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in Orlando. Attendees assembled 2,000 hygiene kits for homeless families in Central Florida. This was the second consecutive year that the Association Masters event included a ONE Project volunteer opportunity.
Marriott is a valuable partner that contributes to Clean the World’s mission on many levels. We appreciate their commitment to the Global Hygiene Revolution, and look forward to collaborating to reaching the next milestone!
