Waste Wise Hotels Toolkit
The hotel industry is undergoing a quiet transformation. An increasing number of hotels are demonstrating that by taking a few simple steps, they can save money and resources.
More and more travellers and event organisers expect the places they visit and stay at to be environmentally conscious, and favour hotels that demonstrate this commitment in everyday practices.
One of the simplest and most effective ways that hotels can lessen their environmental impact is to reduce the amount of waste they produce.
The Waste Wise Hotels Toolkit has been designed to enable hotels to develop practical programs for reducing waste - and associated costs. The toolkit has been teveloped for hotel managers and those responsible for staff training programs and work practices.
The toolkit is divided into manageable sections to allow you to implement Waste Wise initiatives in your own way. The toolkit includes
- The benefits of being Waste Wise
- Information on the where waste is produced in hotels and the key areas for savings
- Templates to assist with taking action to reduce, reuse and recycle waste
- Information sheets and tips for staff training
- Case studies and further resources
