Ritz comes clean on recycled shampoo
The Ritz Hotel in London is decanting surplus toiletries left behind by guests.
Minutes of a housekeeping meeting from March showed the hotel saved nearly £1,500 in February by "recycling guests' toiletries", the London Evening Standard reported.

He said the hotel was cutting waste for environmental and financial reasons.
