Programs such as The Natural Step organization has already demonstrated how instituting sustainable practices improve business outcomes and help to protect the local environment. Many customers are attracted to eco-friendly hotel practices and many of the practices can save your business money and make it more efficient, a win-win outcome. This article provides some starter suggestions for greening your accommodation business. Recycle your old beds and mattresses. It will cut your costs down, create a competitive advantage, interest your guests, and save environment.
It takes over 20 years for a mattress to decompose! Make sure that the company that recycles beds and mattresses actually does it and is not just sending parts of it to landfill. Contract is an industry leader who recycles and replaces old beds and mattresses with 100% being recycled. Start a linen reuse program in all guest rooms.There are several ways to reduce water usage in each guest room. Installing low-flow shower heads and sink aerators. Switching to low-flow toilets or install toilet-tank fill diverters. To learn more about low-flow toilets, see Convert Any Toilet to a Low Flush Toilet.Reducing energy usage reduces your fuel bills, so it makes common sense. Here are some ways you can achieve this: Switch to LED (Light Emitting Diode)lighting to reduce electricity use. LED's have the lowest carbon footprint, last 5-20 times longer, and are safe (compact fluorescent light bulbs all contain mercury, a hazardous heavy metal) in guestrooms, lobbies, and hallways.
Use sensors and/or timers for areas that are infrequently used. Educate your staff to turn off lights and turn down heating/air conditioning when rooms are unoccupied. Also, during summer months, to close the drapes. Use daylight exclusively in your lobby, bar, and restaurant for as much of the day as possible. Consider installing skylights if needed. Install window film to lower heating and cooling loads and reduce glare in guestrooms. Replace exit signs with Light Emitting Diode (LED) exit signs. Purchase "Energy Star" appliances wherever possible. In the USA, see the Energy Star for Hospitality site. It provides detailed information about energy saving appliances and monitoring systems. Replace old washing machines with both water and energy conserving models. If the hotel has a pool and/or hot tub, install a solar water heating system and use pool and hot tub covers when the pool area is closed. Use an energy management system (EMS) to tie in air handling units, HVAC, and lighting to prevent conditioning space when it is not necessary.
Replace electric package terminal air conditioner (PTAC) units with more efficient heat pumps or other geothermal technologies. Consult outside sources to evaluate the total system when replacing major mechanical equipment (such as chiller, water tower, etc). Often, this can lead to downsizing and other opportunities to reduce both the initial investment and operating costs. Use proper insulation and reflective roof coverings. Monitor, record and post rates of energy and water use.Recycle your hotel's waste in the kitchen, guest rooms, dining room etc. There are several ways in which you can encourage guests and staff to recycle: Provide guestroom recycling baskets for newspaper, white paper, glass, aluminum, cardboard, and plastic. Provide recycling bins both in public areas (i.e., poolside), in the kitchen, and in the back office (including one at each desk) to make recycling as easy as possible. Buy office and guest amenity products that contain recycled material.
For company listings in North America, access the Recycled-Content Product Manufacturers Directory. Use recycled paper products (with high post-consumer recycled content) that are either unbleached or bleached using a chlorine-free process. Minimize the amount of paper used for each guest (i.e., reduce paper size of invoices, etc.). Print with soy-based inks. Buy organic, fair trade, cruelty-free guest amenity products whenever possible. Make it clear that you are supporting such products and try to obtain these products across a diverse range of products, such as: bedding and guest robes hair and body care coffee, tea and chocolate, etc. Get the guests motivated to use green transportation options. Avoid disposable products or throwing away useful items. Disposable products fill up landfills and create garbage on your property. There are suitable alternatives: Provide reusable items such as cloth napkins, glass cups, ceramic dishes, etc. with all food and beverage services.
Provide glass cups and ceramic mugs (instead of plastic) for in-room beverages. Place cups and mugs upside down on paper doilies (instead of covering opening with a plastic wrapping). Donate leftover food to a local nonprofit organization and/or use a compost bin. Donate leftover guest amenities, old furniture and appliances to charities.If your hotel has a restaurant, consider transitioning it into a Certified Green Restaurant. Buy organic, locally-grown food and/or plant an organic garden to provide fresh produce for your guests. Garden with consideration for protecting the ecosystem and water-saving. Create an incentive program to encourage your staff. Provide discounts to eco-oriented groups. When doing construction or remodeling projects in the United States, contact the U.S. Green Building Council to learn about the nationally accepted standards for green buildings (called LEED). Buy previously used or recycled-content products whenever possible.
