Adapting to NYC’s Ban on Single-Use Soap Bottles with Paradigm Trends

Starting January 1, 2025, New York City hotels with 50 or more rooms bid farewell to single-use plastic toiletry bottles under 12 ounces. This mandate is part of a broader effort to combat plastic waste and aligns with global sustainability trends. Joining California which started a year before NYC, by 2026, the ban will apply to all NYC hotels, ensuring the hospitality industry plays its part in reducing environmental impact.

What You Need to Know About the Ban

• Purpose: To reduce the environmental footprint of single-use plastics.
• Penalties: Non-compliant hotels will receive a warning and 30 days to correct the issue. Subsequent violations incur fines starting at $250 for the first offense and $500 for each additional infraction, with proceeds supporting New York’s Environmental Protection Fund.
• Compliance Options: Hotels can transition to refillable dispensers, donate existing single-use bottles to charitable organizations, or recycle them through specialty programs.
