Planet before plastic
(PDF, 3.83 MB)We all want less single use plastic. And yet, more plastic waste is being produced now than ever before! By 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the sea[1]. It’s time businesses set targets and aim to transform from a single-use culture to a plastic free future.
Consumers are focused on reducing single use plastic in all areas of their lives – whether it's in the workplace, when travelling, or dining out. The importance of reducing and recycling is widely accepted, and now it's time for businesses to ensure that they are meeting the expectations of consumers.

No room for single use plastic in hotels
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.
Despite this, many feel uncomfortable asking for refills, particularly in high-end environments (almost a quarter (24%) said they would feel uncomfortable in a 5* hotel).
Find out how your hotel business can create a refill culture among your customers and guests by downloading the BRITA Bubbling Under toolkit.
