 Meanwhile, back in the U.S., what's our big problem? Oh, it's shampoo bottles. First, New York State banned plastic carryout bags in 2020. Now, it's going after small shampoo and lotion bottles at hotels. Beginning January 1st, 2025, hotels with more than 50 rooms won't be allowed to provide toiletry bottles under 12 ounces. And in 2026, all hotels must comply.
