New York state is set to ban small toiletry bottles in hotels, sparking debate about government involvement in business operations, according to a new report from Fox Business.
This new rule, aimed at reducing waste, is raising eyebrows in the hospitality industry and beyond.
Starting in 2025, hotels with over 50 rooms can’t offer toiletry bottles smaller than 12 ounces.
By 2026, all New York hotels must comply.
The law comes with teeth: fines start at $250 and can climb to $500 for repeat offenders.
Many see this as government overreach.
The hospitality industry is already moving away from mini bottles on its own.
