Impact at Your Fingertips
Comprehensive Reporting for Hospitality Recycling Partners
As the hospitality industry shifts its focus to sustainable travel, it’s becoming more important for partners to track their individual impact and how they contribute to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Clean the World’s impact reporting provides hospitality partners advanced insights on their sustainability contributions. At any given moment, a Clean the World partner can review, track, and observe the impact they’re contributing to the environment and the lives of people in need. Most importantly, they can share that information with key stakeholders.

No, participating hotels must request new or replacement boxes from Clean the World. To request boxes, please log-in with your user name and password to the customer portal (portal.cleantheworld.org) and click or tap on the orange “Order Boxes” button through the Box Dashboard. If you need log-in credentials, please request at: cleantheworld.org/portal.
When the initial order is placed, the number of boxes that Clean the World will ship to the hotel property is based on room count and past participation history, not on the number of floors. If you believe this total is incorrect, please email partners@cleantheworld.org to update your box allocation.
Clean the World can accept any box or collection device containing soap and/or bottles. Simply contact partners@cleantheworld.org, and we will email you an extra shipping return label.
To ensure Clean the World reports accurate impact totals, we ask that you keep your soap and bottles in separate containers. To request collection boxes, please log-in to the customer portal (portal.cleantheworld.org), and click or tap on the orange “Order Boxes” button through the Box Dashboard. If you need log-in credentials, please request at: cleantheworld.org/portal.
Clean the World accepts all bathroom amenity bottles from hotel rooms including shampoo, lotion, conditioner, and body wash.
When your boxes are 100% full, it’s time to ship. To request a shipping return label, please access the customer portal (portal.cleantheworld.org), click or tap on the “Return Box” button and print your label through the Box Dashboard.
Please note: Each box should have a different tracking number. UPS will not pickup boxes with the same tracking number.
If you have a regularly scheduled UPS service, simply add the boxes to this pickup (make sure the boxes are labeled and ready for pick-up to avoid delays). If you need to schedule a UPS pickup, please schedule through the customer portal (portal.cleantheworld.org). Click or tap on the orange “Schedule Pickup” button, confirm your address, and choose a pickup date from the calendar.
Please note: pickups can only be scheduled for three business days or more in the future. If you have any issues with your pickup, please email partners@cleantheworld.org. Our team can work with UPS to ensure your pickup is successful.
Now, you can receive impact totals right from your customer portal. On the Impact Screen, you can get real-time feedback on how much soap you have collected, how many pounds of waste you’ve collected, how many bars of soap you have distributed, and historical totals.
First, please make sure your box is taped securely. We suggest you use two layers and tape all the way down the sides. Then, attach your shipping label on the top of the box with packing tape. You can also request clear shipping envelopes from UPS which protects your label.
