WASTE MANAGEMENT

WASTE MANAGEMENT

A hotel guest generates about 1kg of waste per night, more than half of it in paper, plastic and cardboard

The European Union produces 1.3 billion tons of waste each year. 3.5 tons of refuse and liquid or solid waste per European citizen; nearly a 1/3 of this food waste for which the food service industry has responsibility

Every kilo of waste equates to inefficiency used resources, in addition the disposal of waste has to be paid for usually by the hospitality industry operations in the form of tipping fee

In New York City (50,000 tons daily)it´s not unusual to have a $100.000 –a year waste bill

MEET TOUGHER GOVERNMENT LEGISLATION

“Bloomberg seeks to ban food from landfills in New York City”

The Bloomberg administration hopes to introduce legislation requiring hospitals, hotels, universities and other large-scale producers of food waste to make it into something useful rather than just send it to landfills or incinerators.

WASTE MANAGEMENT

IT IS AN INEFFICIENT RESOURCE USEIt is more resource-efficient to make new products by recycling rather than starting from scratch

Aluminium95% Less

energy

Paper 40% less energy

Plastics 70% less energy

Glass 30% less energy

Steel 60% less energy

Even exporting recycling materials

(China) provides 5 times the

savings in CO2 emissions

WASTE MANAGEMENT

NEWSPAPER DISTRIBUTION

Provide newspapers in central areas, such as the lobby, and ask guest to request one if they want to be delivered to their room

Marriott International stopped delivering newspaper to every guest room

It said the new policy should reduce newspaper distribution by about 50,000 newspapers every day or by about 18 million newspapers every year

That would reduce carbon emissions by 10,350 tons each year

WASTE MANAGEMENT

TOILETRIESScandic has reduce its waste volume by 40% and packaging waste by 11 tonnes annually

Scandic hotel chain found that only 15% of its soaps, shampoos and conditioners were used, with the balance thrown away

WASTE MANAGEMENT

Stay with us for a more sustainable world

An empty carafe in the hotel rooms is smart green thinking. Despite bottled water being available to buy at Scandic Anglais in Stockholm, guests are encouraged refill their bottles with tap water. It tastes good, costs nothing extra and does not need transporting. A small but important example of how each hotel can help towards a sustainable world and at the same time give you a better experience

BY PROVING GUESTS WITH CHILLED AND FILTERED WATER, STILL AND CARBONATED, FROM TAPS, IT CALCULATES IT HAS CUT CO2 EMISSIONS IN 160 TONNES/YEAR

WASTE MANAGEMENT

RECYCLE

WASTE MANAGEMENT

1. Up to 60% of the rubbish that ends up in the dustbin can be recycled

2. A recycled plastic bottle saves enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for three months

3. 70% less energy is required to recycle paper compared with marking it from raw materials

4. Plastic can take up to 500 years to decompose

5. Recycled paper produces 73% less air pollution that if it was made from raw materials

6. The energy saved from recycling one glass bottle will power a 100-watt light bulb for almost an hour

WASTE MANAGEMENT

What Is Compost?Composting is the natural process of decomposition and recycling of organic material into a humus rich soil amendment known as compost. For any business or institution producing food waste, this organic material can be easily decomposed into high quality compost

• Reduces solid waste disposal fees.• Ends wasting large quantities of recyclable raw

ingredients.• Educates consumers on the benefits of food waste

composting.• Markets your establishment as environmentally

conscious.• Markets your establishment as one that assists local

farmers and the community.• Helps close the food waste loop by returning it back

to agriculture.• Reduces the need for more landfill space.

WASTE MANAGEMENT

ELECTRONIC WASTE (e-WASTE)

Check whether you can part-exchange or return “old” equipment to your supplier or sell or donate them to schools, charities or companies that specialise in refurbishing these items.

WASTE MANAGEMENT

At Whitbread’s Premier Inn hotels, mattresses are replaced every six years

Now, instead of sending 6,000 mattresses annually to landfill, Premier Inn has developed a new environmental policy and teamed up with bed manufacturer Hypos

Hypos has developed a machine to shred and separate mattress materials: metal hinges and springs are recycled back into steel products, foam is reused in carpet underlay and textiles are recycled into insulation products for heating.

WASTE MANAGEMENT

REUSE

WASTE MANAGEMENT

FINDING WAYS TO USE THE WASTE FROM ONE PROCESS AS THE RAW MATERIAL FOR ANOTHER ONE

REUSING MATERIAL IS BETTER CHOICE THAN RECYCLING, INCINERATION OR LANDFILL

REUSING DIFFERS FROM RECYCLING IN THAT RECYCLING BREAKS DOWN AN ITEM INTO ITS BASIC PARTS AND MAKES A NEW PRODUCT OUT OF IT, BUT REUSING AN ITEM KEEPS THE MATERIAL IN ITS ORIGINAL FORM AND USES THE ITEM OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR THE SAME OR DIFFERENT PURPOSE

The 600 ml brown bottle is the "standard” bottle reused in Brazil

WASTE MANAGEMENT

REUSE TEXTILESConvert damaged textiles, such as uniforms and linens, into useful items For example, torn bed sheets, towels and banquet linens into reusable guest-room laundry bags, baby bibs, crib bumper pads, aprons, cleaning rags and bar convers either by the establishment itself or by a charity organization

WASTE MANAGEMENT

REUSING CONTAINERSThis means that less material is needed to manufacture containers
