Reducing plastic consumption

Agoda Partner Hub > CSR & Sustainability > Reducing plastic consumption

Introduction

Written in collaboration with Travel Without Plastic

Since plastic started being mass-produced in the 1950s, around 6,300 million tonnes of it has been thrown away. And with just 9% of global plastic waste recycled, these items are rapidly building up in landfill sites and oceans.

It might be difficult to imagine running a property without plastic. After all, plastic items like water bottles, mini toiletries and straws have been part of the standard set-up for decades. Guests have become dependent on these convenient and ‘safe’ items, too – with the shiny plastic wrapping signalling freshness, newness, and cleanliness in an unfamiliar environment.

The good news is that properties of all shapes and sizes are already making the switch to sustainable alternatives – and it’s working. From bamboo straws to stainless steel water bottles, new solutions are changing the hospitality industry’s old habits, proving it is possible for guests and partners to adapt.

In this section, we’ll discuss the environmental, social and financial benefits of reducing your property’s plastic consumption. We’ll also share practical advice on how to start making changes, with help from the experts at Travel Without Plastic.

 

Single-use plastic items you might be using at your property:

  • Water or drinks bottles
  • Drinking straws and stirrers
  • Plastic and polystyrene cups
  • Miniature toiletry bottles and toothpicks
  • Disposable plates and cutlery
  • Food packaging (such as yoghurt pots and individual condiment packets)
  • Plastic-sealed tea bags, coffee pods and minibar stock
  • Plastic wrapping (around clean glasses or other items)
