No single use
sourcing environmentally alternatives
In your waste audit, you’ll pick up any single use products you may currently purchase. For the tourism industry, examples might disposable plates, coffee cups, water bottles, straws, single use servings of condiments, milk, toiletries, office products such as printer cartridges and so on. Once you have some baseline data around the single use products you currently use, you can make a plan to find alternatives.
Don’t forget to tell your customers about your efforts to avoid single use items. It’ll make them feel like they’re making a difference too!
