Local Sustainable Solutions

What Local Sustainable Solutions does

Local Sustainable Solutions is a privately held, founder-stage company founded in 2022 and headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii. It sells eco-friendly hotel amenities, specifically refillable wall-mounted dispensers and plant-based bulk amenity refills (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, lotion, and laundry detergent), targeted at hotels and resorts seeking to replace single-use plastic toiletry bottles. The dispenser line consists of two aluminum and stainless steel models featuring tamper-proof designs, subtle refill signaling for housekeeping, and customizable branding, priced at $70-$86 per unit; bulk amenities are priced at $34-$74 across container sizes from 1/2 gallon to 55 gallons.

The company operates a dual go-to-market: a product-led Shopify e-commerce storefront enabling self-serve hotel purchases, and an enterprise field-sales motion for sustainability consulting services covering assessment, action plan development, implementation, and ongoing monitoring. Revenue is generated through three streams: hardware/dispenser sales, consumable bulk amenity sales, and professional services consulting. Distribution is direct shipping within the USA with 4-8 week lead times. Marketing channels include organic social (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok), email newsletter, and website content targeting eco-conscious hotel operators.

The company is operated by a three-person founding team (Jillian, Gustavo, Hunter) with no disclosed institutional funding, no parent company, no acquisitions, and no patents or trademarks on file. The company claims environmental impact of 50,000+ plastic bottles diverted from landfills since founding, and cites customer outcomes including a 75% plastic waste reduction at Ocean View Resort and 30% amenity cost savings at Green Palms Hotel.
