💚Plastic Free July 2024💚 Plastic free July is a global movement that helps people be part of the solution to plastic pollution so we can have cleaner streets, oceans, and beautiful communities. 🌿🌳 One initiative that we’re proud of is our partnership with Belu Water. In 2023, we replaced all single use water bottles across all our city centre hotels with Belu Eco Water Stations that allow all guests and staff to access chilled water using reusable glass bottles. The new water stations provide fresh and sparkling water to guests as well as staff in the hotel’s bars, restaurants, and conference areas. The system has taken 525,000 small plastic bottles and 75,000 glass bottles out of the waste system in favour of reusable glass bottles. Our next big initiative will be our Switch to Bulk room amenities which is planned for completion in October. This will take 890,000 single plastics from our waste and supply chain. Between the two projects it comes to 1,490,000 plastic items from our waste! #PlasticFreeJuly #BeluWater #GreenTourism
