SUSTAINABILITY HOTSHOTS
Food waste can also be reduced through this means as produce can be provided daily on a needs basis .
Relying on local businesses for food is not limited to properties in rural areas with easier access to farming and fishing providers ; hotels in metropolitan areas can also improve sustainability by looking closer to home , which can still effectively reduce carbon emissions caused by the transportation of goods with shorter journeys .
COOKING In addition to looking at where the produce in the kitchen comes from , a lot can be done with a few notable changes in the way food is cooked . For example , the oils used in a hotel kitchen can have a massive impact on the environment if they are not disposed of in a sustainable way . It is often not considered what happens to the ‘ waste ’ oil that is collected and dumped after a day of serving multiple guests . Proper Oils provide a service where it collects waste oil from a kitchen to be turned into biodiesel , and aims to help hotels hit “ sustainability targets ” and reduce environmental impact while making sure that the large quantity of waste cooking oils is managed .
ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES Using appliances that require less energy is an effective way of making sure a hotel is more sustainable . A basic switch of appliances to one which is more energy efficient can make a huge impact to how ‘ green ’ a hotel is in a short space of time and there are many products which help to make that process easier . Miele ’ s Heat-Pump Dryers are tumble dryers which use EcoPlus technology to help lower energy consumption by 60 %. With the large amount of laundry that needs to quickly be cleaned and dried at a hotel daily , using an appliance which makes the process more ecological will prove to be beneficial and more cost effective .
Beyond this , there are products which are not only created to require less energy but also efficiently convert the energy used into secondary , useful output . The Winterhalter ClimatePlus warewasher uses 53 % less energy compared to a standard passthrough machine , as well as capturing waste heat and energy from the hotel kitchen . It then turns it into cold air which can be used as an air conditioner creating a more comfortable temperature for kitchen staff . This ‘ two-in-one ’ alleviates the need for a fan or a separate cooling system meaning a reduction in energy use in the long run .
As hotels continue to look for ways to increase their bottom lines and reduce costs , sustainability could be an area that could make a huge difference . Consumers are becoming more aware of the impact their actions has on the planet and choosing to place their money with companies which fall in line with that . Apart from getting a boost from the knowledge that your hotel is ‘ green ’, revenue can be increased by attracting such customers so becoming more sustainable and deciding to make those changes to any or all areas of the hotel will be the ultimate benefit .
