In April, Starwood becomes the first corporate partner to join Clean the World’s efforts to promote a global hygiene revolution. Clean the World, a social enterprise committed to saving lives and protecting our planet, announces a corporate agreement to collect and recycle hotel soaps, shampoos, conditioners, lotions and gels to help fight the global spread of preventable diseases. An estimated 1.6 million pounds of hotel soap may be recycled each year through this partnership.
