Clean the World welcomes PPHE Hotel Group to Global Hospitality Recycling Programme

Environmental and social impact solutions provider Clean the World has welcomed PPHE Hotel Group (“PPHE” or “the Group”) to its Global Hospitality Recycling Programme.

To date, 17 of the Group’s hotels across the UK and Europe have joined Clean the World’s ‘plastic bottled amenity’ recycling programme, with more set to enrol throughout 2025.

The collaboration will transform discarded plastic amenities into pellets for repurposing into circular products, supporting Clean the World’s mission for environmental impact while helping the Group manage waste responsibly and contribute to the circular economy for a more sustainable future.

PPHE Hotel Group is an international hospitality real estate company with a portfolio valued at £2bn that includes full-service upscale, upper upscale and lifestyle hotels in prime European locations.

This expansion highlights the hospitality industry’s progress in addressing plastic bathroom amenity waste, aligning with the sector’s growing demand for sustainability. It follows the introduction of non-refillable amenity formats at Park Plaza hotels in Europe, expected to save 37 tonnes of plastic waste annually.

Tommie Eaton, director of Clean the World in UK and Europe said: “PPHE Hotel Group’s commitment to our recycling programme reflects their forward-thinking approach to sustainability. By tackling amenity waste and reducing their carbon footprint, they are setting a powerful example for the industry. This partnership underscores the growing momentum towards responsible, circular solutions in hospitality, and we are proud to support PPHE in driving meaningful environmental impact.”

Alex Matulina, ESG manager at PPHE Hotel Group added: “In 2024 we transitioned from miniature toiletry bottles to larger dispensers across all our hotels – an important step in our journey to reducing waste. However, these dispensers still generate plastic waste, making the disposal process critical. Partnering with Clean the World ensures that all used dispensers are collected and processed responsibly reinforcing our commitment to circular solutions and environmental responsibility.”
