Resource Management for Waste & Recycling

April 25, 2023 at 8:30 AM EDT | 12:30 PM GMT

Join us for our April 25th webinar at 8:30AM EDT | 12:30 PM GMT as we discuss Resource Management for Waste & Recycling featuring expert insights from Blue Apple Beach, Colombia and The Datai Langkawi, Malaysia. Both properties are well on their way to achieving zero waste to landfill and use techniques such as bottle crushing, upcycling and using waste materials in the maintenance and construction of their hotels. During the webinar, we’ll discover how these two island hotels have dramatically reduced their waste to landfill and created change in their communities. Plus, they’ll be sharing tips on how to start reducing waste to landfill and gradually build up to having more of an impact. Reducing, reusing and recycling can be a key part of a climate change strategy to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and we look forward to discussing how this in relation to Regenerative Hospitality.
