The days of hotels providing their guests with miniature shampoo bottles, body lotions and shower gel are well and truly over.
The European Commission is slapping a ban on their use as part of new EU-wide rules on packaging and waste.
That means every time you stay in a hotel within one of the EU member states, they'll either have to provide you with a large bottle, or you'll have to source your own cosmetics.
The move is part of a package to cut down on the amount of waste produced by EU citizens each year.
On average, each European generates almost 180kg of packaging waste per year.
"Packaging is one of the main users of virgin materials as 40% of plastics and 50% of paper used in the EU is destined for packaging," a report from the Commission states.
"Without action, the EU would see a further 19% increase in packaging waste by 2030, and for plastic packaging waste even a 46% increase."
"The new rules aim to stop this trend. For consumers, they will ensure reusable packaging options, get rid of unnecessary packaging, limit overpackaging, and provide clear labels to support correct recycling.
"For the industry, they will create new business opportunities, especially for smaller companies, decrease the need for virgin materials, boosting Europe's recycling capacity as well as making Europe less dependent on primary resources and external suppliers.
"They will put the packaging sector on track for climate neutrality by 2050."
The proposals are a part of the European Green Deal's Circular Economy Action Plan, which is designed to make sustainable products the norm.
It aims to make all packaging recyclable by 2030.
To foster the reuse or refilling of packaging - a process which has become a lot less common across the EU in the last 20 years - companies will have to offer a certain percentage of their products to consumers in reusable or refillable packaging, for example takeaway drinks and meals or e-commerce deliveries.
There will also be some standardisation of packaging formats and clear labelling of reusable packaging.
To address unnecessary packaging, certain forms of it will be banned, such as single-use packaging for food and beverages when consumed inside restaurants and cafes, single-use packaging for fruits and vegetables, miniature shampoo bottles and other miniature packaging in hotels.
The proposal on packaging and packaging waste will now be considered by the European Parliament and the Council, in the ordinary legislative procedure.
As the UK is no longer in the EU, British hotels will not be required to follow any of the new laws.
