GREEN SHOOTS OF HOPE

IHCL offers valuable lessons to hotels keen to get rid of single-use plastics

Plastic pollution is an environmental crisis of mammoth proportions. To mitigate its impact, it is essential to replace single-use plastic products of high use with sustainable options on priority.

IHCL’s focused approach towards this end led it to replace plastic straws from all hotels and install bottling water plants at 15 properties, resulting in the elimination of 0.2 million kilograms of plastic. It aims at further reducing and eventually stopping the use of single-use plastic in product packaging. Additionally, IHCL has launched the country's first ever 'Zero Single-Use Plastic Hotel', Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, Andamans.
