Worldwide, waste is an everyday hassle on a large scale in hotels. With a number of in-house restaurants, bakeries, cafes, catering units and not to mention guests checking in and out – these hotels generate a colossal amount of garbage on a daily basis. Many ‘eco-conscious’ hoteliers are responding actively to these varied waste challenges with a strong focus on the green mantra – reduce, reuse, and recycle. According to hotel industry expert Zachar Conan, the ideal system for recycling at hotels is the implementation of recycling at source. Segregated waste collection bins made available throughout the hotel and an active recycling campaign that targets each guest on check-in is the best way to start.

Singapore is one of the world’s leading metropolitan cities that also boasts heavy floating population of tourists. In the city, The Singapore Hotel Association and the National Environment Agency have come together to launch a recycling and environmental initiative for hotels. The objective of this 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) Programme for Hotels is to help them adopt better environmentally conscious systems for waste management.

The Middle East has many such cities aiming for the tourist destination hot spot. A few of the Dubai hoteliers have now started adopting these recycling strategies throughout their hotels both at the front end and at the back end. This is where Blue Stream Environmental Technology LLC has helped these organizations realize their recycling strategies.
