Accor has joined the UN Global Tourism Plastics Initiative to commit to removing all single-use plastic items in the guest experience from its hotels by the end of 2022, the company announced. Ninety-four percent of Accor's hotels already have eliminated the use of straws, cotton buds and stirrers, according to Accor, and the remaining 6 percent, mostly in China, will do so by the end of March 2020. The new initiative includes the removal of individual plastic toiletry amenities and cups by the end of 2020 and the elimination of all remaining single-use plastic items in guestrooms, meeting areas, restaurants and all leisure activity areas, such as spas and fitness centers, by the end of 2022. The Global Tourism Plastics Initiative is led by the UN Environment Program and the World Tourism Organization in collaboration with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation to fight against plastic waste and pollution.
