We're cutting down on Single Use Plastic

As a low-carbon business, we are committed to reducing our impact on the environment and so we’ve removed all single use plastic from the guest areas of easyHotel owned and leased network of hotels.

In reception, we’ve switched to sustainably sourced wooden key cards in place of plastic, and we’ve replaced all the plastic bottles in our vending machines with cans. We’ve also installed free water fountains so guests can refill their own bottles or buy a reusable bottle from reception.

In our rooms we’ve binned our bin bags and done away with tea and coffee facilities and the associated single use plastic that comes with it. If guests want a hot drink, then our vending machines offers more sustainable hot drinks. We’ve scrubbed up in the bathroom too with toiletry dispensers in place of single use miniature toiletries.

We continue to work with our suppliers to reduce the amount of plastic packaging used in the products we purchase, and we will prioritise suppliers who use sustainable materials.

We also educate our employees on the importance of reducing single-use plastic and provide them with the necessary tools and resources to implement this policy.

There is always more to be done and so we continue to work on reducing the amount of single-use plastic across the whole easyHotel business.
