Waste

 

  • More than 65% of the waste we generate is recoverable or recyclable, so it is highly important to recycle waste. Use the recycling containers to be found at the establishment or in the town/village where you are. Always use the waste bins in your room and in communal areas of the hotel establishment.

 

  • Do your shopping with a bag made out of cloth or another re-usable material and reject plastic bags and unnecessary packaging offered in shops. This will help to reduce waste generated.

 

  • Use as little tin foil, cling wrap and packaging as possible when wrapping items. Use re-useable plastic containers to store food and, where possible, buy items by weight or in large packets.

 

  • Do not through waste that is potentially hazardous to the environment (alkaline or watch batteries, cleaning products, medicines, etc.) in the bin. Use the specific containers to be found at your hotel establishment or in the town/village where you are staying.

 

  • Avoid using disposable products. Returnable packaging is preferable.

 

  • Always choose glass packaging above metal, and paper wrapping above plastic where possible.

 

  • Use rechargeable batteries.

 

  • Use natural fabrics, they pollute less and are easier to recycle.

 

  • When you go to the countryside, take a bag for rubbish and then place it in a container; leave no trace of your visit behind you.
