Single Use Plastic Reduction at a hotel

For A Circular Economy of Plastics

Practical Plastic Reduction for Hotels & Resorts

It is not as simple as 'plastic is bad' so everything else is good.  
Our strategies and actions help you to follow the Global Tourism Plastics Initiative (GTPI) Methodology.

Plastic Reduction Program in Laos with Jo Hendricx TripleImpactHospitality CEO

Are You Solving
One Problem Only To Find
You Have Created Another?

Hotels and tour operators are under increasing pressure to reduce single-use plastics, whether to comply with new regulations or meet guest expectations. But not all alternatives are as environmentally friendly as they claim. Some so-called “green” replacements come with hidden impacts, and can drive up costs or create even worse environmental impacts than the plastic you are trying to replace.

We help you to make more informed decisions, by offering honest, practical recommendations, workable reuse systems that can help to reduce your costs, and clear guidance on what to do when some single-use plastics might still be necessary.

Plastic Audit & Inventory
Through an onsite or virtual audit, we’ll identify all single-use plastics across guest-facing and back-of-house areas, so you’ll know exactly which types you’re using and where they appear in your operations

Baseline Assessment
Use our monthly tracker to see how many single-use items you're buying, what they're costing your business, and how much plastic they generate in kilograms. Identify your top 5 or 10 high-impact items and have ready-made data for GTPI reporting and better decision-making.

Personalised Plan
Using your audit results and baseline data, we’ll develop a tailored plan with a range of alternative options, from product swaps to suggested updates to brand standards and SOPs. Each recommendation includes operational pros and cons, practical steps for introducing reusables, and guidance on how to communicate changes effectively to your guests

Supplier Guidance - Ask The Right Question
Suppliers rarely talk about the full picture of their alternatives to SUPs.  Health and safety, waste compatibility, real-life usability. That’s where we come in. If you're not sure about a product or material, we’ll guide you through the pros, cons, and operational fit so you don’t waste money or time on the wrong option.

Guest Communication Materials
We’ll work with you to communicate your changes clearly, positively an without greenwash, so guests understand what’s different and why it matters

Staff Engagement & Training
In-person or online training sessions to build buy-in and ensure smooth transitions.
