Shanghai hotels acting to promote eco-friendliness

Bid to cut use of toiletry kits, part of citywide move to recycle garbage

SHANGHAI - Hotels in Shanghai are being asked to stop offering disposable toiletry kits unless customers ask, amid efforts to reduce waste.

Hotel guests are encouraged to use and reuse recyclable daily consumables of their own, such as toothbrushes, combs, bath sponges, razors, nail files and shoe polish.
