The Waste Management Globe aims to reduce the waste to landfill and
thereby the Solid Waste Diversion Rate by an efficient Waste
Management Strategy. This will also enable reduction in greenhouse gas
emissions. The strategy ensures greater operational efficiency throughout
the hierarchy of the hotel. ECOTELs Waste Management effort is
centered upon the 4Rs of reduce, reuse, recycle, and recover:
Identify waste generating areas in different departments and the
composition of the waste stream in each.
Reduce waste generation through source reduction which includes
strategies like reducing consumption and packaging, substituting by
products that are designed to last longer, reusing products and materials
recovered from the waste stream in their current forms.
Recycle, compost or recover materials for use as direct or indirect inputs to
new products that can be utilized in the hotel or the community.
ECOTEL will set up policies and procedures for handling waste and
recoverable material including separation, collection, composting,
incineration and land filling and establish training programmes as part of
the overall ECOTEL training schedule. ECOTEL will monitor waste
management over time and modify the system to optimise it for the
property in question.
