PLASTIC REDUCTION GUIDELINES FOR HOTELS

Summary of the content and its utility

Plastics pose a significant environmental challenge due to their widespread use and inadequate disposal. With only 15% being recycled globally, plastic waste pollutes oceans and ecosystems, prompting legislative action such as the European Parliament's ban on single-use items. TUI Group recognizes the tourism industry's responsibility to reduce single-use plastics and has already removed 140 million pieces, aiming for 250 million by 2020. These guidelines are designed to assist hoteliers in implementing their own plastic reduction programs, offering practical advice and alternatives to commonly used single-use plastic items.
