How to Transform Your Sustainability Practices by Recycling in Hotels
The Need For Recycling in Hotels
In terms of potential scale, recycling has a truly staggering potential. The hotel industry is, after all, one of the most highly trafficked sectors of the global economy. It is estimated that hotels generate nearly 300,000 tons of waste annually as a result of the use of plastic water bottles, food waste, and paper products.
Our solutions for recycling in hotels are easy to use, with odor and bacteria control built right in. In addition, their touchless designs make them the ideal sanitary solution for public and private areas – whether in the lobby, by the spa, or in the gym.

We’ve also got the solutions that will best meet your need for recycling in hotels.

Where Can You Use Recycling Bins?
There is an easy answer to this question: anywhere and everywhere. Recycling is one of the best solutions for a large number of use-case scenarios in hotels. In addition to the obvious uses both indoors and outdoors, they are ideal for lawn areas, conference rooms, dining areas, and other public areas that are likely to receive a lot of traffic and are especially used during events.
What Should You Look When Addressing Recycling in Hotels?
You may not have considered what you need if you've never purchased a waste trash can. Here's what you need to consider when choosing the best trash can for waste and recycling in hotels.
Comprehensive Waste Audit: Conduct a waste audit to understand your volume and type. Once you clearly understand the type of waste and recycling in hotels, you can identify the scope and requirements.
Recycling Infrastructure: Place bins and signage throughout the hotel for different recyclable materials (glass, metal, paper, and plastic).
Staff Training: Train your staff on recycling practices. Encourage staff participation with green teams and environmental initiatives.
Guest Information: Share details about your recycling programs with your guests. Consider offering discounts or loyalty points to encourage recycling participation.
Data Reporting: Gather data and report on the amount and types of recyclable materials. As you track your progress, identify areas for improvement. You can also use the reporting to demonstrate your commitment to environmental responsibility.
Compliance: Obtain environmental certificates to recognize your recycling efforts. Ensure you’re complying with local regulations.
