Hilton has announced similar initiatives in the past. The hotel chain also helps recycle soap, lotion and shampoo bottles, which can be reused for travel bottles of hygiene products. Hilton's recycling program has helped Clean the World distribute 7.6 million bars of recycled soap over the past decade, keeping 2 million pounds of soap and bottles out of landfills. Bill Duncan, Hilton's global head, said the company was among the first hotel chains to participate in soap recycling. Hilton is one of the many companies focused on recycling. Businesses face disruption from climate change, and customers increasingly demand that products and services are environmentally friendly. Clean the World founder Shawn Seipler previously told CNN that he could convert used soap to improve the world. The organization also has a partnership with Marriott, and logistics partnerships with UPS and Guest Supply, a supplier of hotel room toiletries.
