Travelers are placing high importance on conservation and seek out brands that do the same. In response to this green demand, hotels across the globe are continually devising unique strategies to reduce waste. Kimpton Hotels partners with Clean the World to recycle soap and hygiene products to divert them from the landfill. Proximity Hotel in Greensboro, North Carolina, boasts one of the first LEED Platinum ratings in the country. And over at 1 Hotel Central Park, the front door is made with 1,600 reclaimed locust branches.
But what about the minibar? We are always busy implementing eco-friendly initiatives that reduce the minibar’s environmental footprint while still keeping the guest experience top-notch. Let’s dive into what’s new and exciting:
Sustainable Snacking
Gone are the days when “sustainable packaging” meant drab, brown paper bags. We’re thrilled to offer a variety of highly customizable, plastic-free packaging options that are as stylish as they are sustainable. Think glass jars, metal tins, and recycled boxes, bags, and labels. So, go ahead and indulge—eco-friendly doesn’t have to be boring. Check out all of our plastic-free options here.
The Green Mile
We’ve teamed up with our freight partners to bring you an exciting new option: net-zero carbon emissions for each delivery! Every time you place an order, the carbon offset is used to support amazing initiatives like reforestation, renewable energy, and wastewater treatment. Ask us about Carbon Neutral shipping when you place your next order and let’s keep the planet happy together!
Stayin’ Alive
The average minibar products have a nine-month shelf life, but products that are nitrogen-flushed have double that amount. The extended shelf life will eliminate expired food waste in the event that a product doesn’t sell as quickly as you’d anticipated. We have this handy guide for you to see what kind of product may work for you! Waste not, want not!
The Eco-lympics
Look, we like to have fun. That’s why we are creating an employee incentive program to encourage sustainable choices at work—whether it’s carpooling, biking, walking, or taking public transit. We are going to cover part (or all) of the public transit costs for our team! And to keep things exciting, we’ve got bonus points, challenges, and of course, a little extra motivation for Earth Month. Go dream team!
In short, we’re here to help make your hotel’s minibar greener without compromising the guest experience. As your trusted partner, we’re dedicated to providing sustainable solutions that align with your eco-friendly goals. Together, we can create a more sustainable hospitality experience.
