With a heightened awareness of the impact of 4.9 million tonnes of plastic in our oceans, consumers understandably have bug bears over certain single use plastic products in hotels.

Over three quarters (75%) of consumers would use a water dispenser to make their own drinks to take out with them for the day to avoid using plastic cups or buying a single use bottle.

In order to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship, hotels need to look for opportunities and eco-friendly alternatives that drive a positive change towards hospitality.

An easy first step in this direction would be to install the BRITA water dispenser within hotel premises. This not only addresses the challenges caused by single-use plastics, but helps boost a hotels’ eco-credentials, significantly improving guest experience.

One of BRITA’s partners, Novotel London Tower Bridge, has installed the versatile Top Pro on every floor of the hotel, dispensing premium filtered water on demand for staff and guests at the touch of a button.

The impact:
Removed 70,000 single-use bottles per year from the rooms alone with a predicted 30% cost saving

Cut costs of purchasing, storing, refrigerating, transporting and waste management of bottled water, also minimising the supply chain environmental impacts

Met guest expectations for on-demand filtered water and encouraged refill
