MiYO ORGANIC's Ethical Amenities Introduced in All Guest Rooms at Two Osaka Locations of 'Courtyard by Marriott'

MiYO ORGANIC Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture; CEO: Miyo Yamamoto; hereinafter "MiYO ORGANIC") announces that its environmentally conscious amenities, designed to reduce plastic consumption, will be introduced in all guest rooms at two properties of Marriott International’s first Asian entry brand, 'Courtyard by Marriott Osaka Namba Minami' and 'Courtyard by Marriott Osaka Shin-Imamiya'.

## Background of the Introduction

In line with Marriott International’s sustainability and social impact framework, 'Serve 360: Doing Good in Every Direction,' both hotels are advancing initiatives to eliminate plastic. MiYO ORGANIC’s amenities, which prioritize ethical manufacturing and guest comfort, have been selected. For the 'Courtyard by Marriott' brand, which emphasizes simple and practical stays, this enables a sustainable guest experience without compromising functionality.

## Details of the Introduced Amenities

The amenities provided in guest rooms at Courtyard by Marriott are designed to minimize environmental impact. Toothbrushes and hair combs are made from 100% recycled materials, cotton swab handles use paper, and all item packaging uses FSC-certified paper—significantly reducing single-use plastic.

Despite their sustainable design, these amenities maintain the simple and comfortable guest experience unique to Courtyard by Marriott. Notably, while bamboo toothbrushes were an option, recycled plastic was intentionally chosen for its sleek, stylish design that aligns with the smart hotel concept, offering an eco-friendly yet urban-appropriate comfort experience.
