- Paper straws, stainless steel crockery, laundry bags made of markeen cloth, and glass bottles are beginning to replace the once-so-popular plastic products. All this, thanks to the ban on plastic in hotels.
- The objective is to focus on reducing, reusing and recycling the waste. To take this initiative of going environmental-friendly forward, we are focusing on items for which eco-friendly substitutes are available,” said Raj Rana, CEO, South Asia, Radisson Hotel Group.
- Radisson has begun using bamboo stirrers, replaced plastic laundry bags with those made of cloth, and also installed wall-mounted dispensers for shampoo and body wash, instead of dishing out small plastic bottles.
The Cost of Green
- The cost of an item also plays a major role the adoption of environment-friendly items. Plastic is often considered a preferred option as the substitutes available in the market are costlier in comparison.
- A plastic straw might cost around 22 paise. The price of a paper straw, however, is around a rupee.
- Taking this environment-friendly initiative forward, Le Meridien has begun using paper coasters, and also introduced paper straws.
