Sad Soap
Ever wonder what happens to the sliver of hotel soap you barely used during your stay? Brook and I pondered this while powdering our noses at the lovely Peninsula Hotel before the Ultimat event. After a bit of digging, here is what I came up with…
Hotels in Los Angeles and Orange County, California add a new twist to the recycling gamut: bars of soap from the guestrooms. While soap does not account for tons of diversion or measure up to huge savings, it does make a lot of sense when one considers that most hotel soap bars are barely used and then discarded. Bi-O-Labs in Los Angeles collects discarded soap bars from over 150 hotels and processes them into other products such as laundry soap and surface cleaners.
