The InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) is ditching miniature toiletries in favour of bulk-size ones.
It says this'll apply to all of its 843-thousand rooms by 2021.
It's part of efforts to reduce plastic waste at the company - whose brands include InterContinental, Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn hotels.
It's the first global hotel company to make the change.
As part of our ongoing efforts to reduce plastic waste, we’re delighted to announce that every IHG hotel worldwide will switch to bulk-size bathroom amenities – replacing miniatures. Good things come in big packages… #truehospitality https://t.co/7ROtM4YyvA pic.twitter.com/jzUhPG0zFY

Keith Barr, IHG CEO, says: "It's more important than ever that companies challenge themselves to operate responsibly.
"We know it's what our guests, owners, colleagues, investors and suppliers rightly expect."
IHG has an average of 200 million bathroom miniatures in use across its group every year.
In October 2018, it also announced the removal of single-use plastic straws from its hotels by the end of 2019.
