Hotel amenities are now more readily recyclable, thanks to a new partnership between manufacturing leader Marietta Corporation and TerraCycle. Until recently, hotels had limited recycling options for the small bottles and soaps, however Marietta is providing a solution for its partners so these products no longer have to go to the landfill. The collected containers will be recycled into new products such as hangers, ice buckets and recycling bins to be used in hotel rooms. Marietta has a strong commitment to eco-friendly, green initiatives and finding a way to reduce plastics and packaging in landfills has been a priority for the company as part of its Social Responsibility Plan. “We are committed to collaborating with our partners to work and live in a way that is environmentally responsible,” said Marietta Director Marketing & Communications Vince Panzanella. “Our relationship with TerraCycle fits perfectly with our environmental responsibility program, and we are excited to be able to offer this recycling option to our hotel partners.”
