Austin Eaton

Hello, I am Austin Eaton, Head of Marketing at Clean the World Europe and UK.
Have you ever asked yourself where the little bar of soap in your hotel bathroom goes after you leave?
I actually did, but I was not the first one. Back in 2009, Founder and CEO of Clean the World, Shawn Seipler asked himself this very question, after countless nights spent in hotel rooms for work. Little did he know that this question would catalyze the birth of Clean the World. Shocked by the revelation that the hospitality industry was discarding millions of soap bars each year and driven by a deep sense of responsibility, Shawn, transformed a humble one-car garage in Orlando, Florida, into the epicenter of soap recycling. Setting in motion a movement that would change lives and communities around the world.

Djony Jaegers for SMack's Humans of Hospitality

Djony Jaegers

Hello, my name is Djony Jaegers and I am a member of the ROOM FOR CHANGE program by entrepreneurs’ collective The Present Movement. I have been working there as a Relations Manager for a year now. ROOM FOR CHANGE is a social responsibility program for hotels in which we use the power of the hospitality world to make a positive impact in the lives of people who are temporarily unhoused. This group is often also called “economically homeless people”. These are people like you and me, without any addictions or psychiatric indications, but without housing. Sometimes life just goes wrong – you lost your job, or you get a divorce and have to move out of your house.
