Our guests are looking to us to make changes
The move is an expansion of a policy that was first rolled out in January 2018
in the chains economy brands.These will be removed by staff when they run low
and sent for recycling -- though in reality many US municipalities currently
send much of the plastic marked for recycling to landfills or incinerators.A
recent study published in Science Advances estimated that of the total global
plastic waste generated by 2015, China automotive
plastic molding Manufacturers approximately 6,300 million metric tons, only
79 per cent was in landfills or the environment, 12 percent had been
incinerated, and only nine percent was recycled.But instead of moving to
refillable, wall mounted dispensers, the hotel will switch to larger pump-action
bottles that contain about 10-12 times the amount of shampoo, conditioner or
bath gel. In July 2018, it adopted a plan to remove plastic straws and stirrers
from its hotels.
Our guests are looking to us to make changes that will create a
meaningful difference for the environment while not sacrificing the quality
service and experience they expect from our hotels," said Arne Sorenson, the
groups president and CEO..Plastic items take more than 400 years to degrade,
while the notion that dutifully placing plastic in the recycling bin will result
in it actually being recycled has been challenged, particularly since China
stopped importing millions of tons of plastic waste in 2018.The chain estimates
the move will prevent about 500 million tiny bottles from going to landfills, a
30 percent annual reduction from current amenity plastic usage.Marriott
International, the worlds largest hotel chain, said Wednesday it was ditching
single-use toiletry bottles as part of plans to reduce its environmental impact
