Starting January 1, 2025, Illinois will enforce a ban on mini shampoo bottles in hotel rooms, aiming to tackle plastic waste and promote environmental sustainability. This new regulation reflects the state’s commitment to reducing plastic pollution, as single-use mini bottles significantly contribute to landfill and waterway waste.
Under the new law, hotels will need to replace these small, disposable bottles with larger, refillable dispensers or other eco-friendly alternatives. This shift aligns with broader efforts to minimize plastic use in various industries, including hospitality.

While environmental advocates praise the measure for its potential to reduce plastic waste, some critics argue that it may present logistical challenges and increased costs for hotels, especially smaller ones. Despite these concerns, the ban represents a significant step towards more sustainable practices and may inspire similar initiatives in other regions.
