The Hospitality and Hotel Industry on the Green Rise!

Sustainable lifestyle and eco-friendly solutions are no longer just a passing trend for nature-conscious young people. It is now one of the long-term strategic goals and core values that the entire country strives for.

Preference for Natural Straws

According to a study, it takes only one second to throw away a plastic straw, but it takes 100-500 years for that plastic straw to fully decompose. Among the various plastic waste, the plastic straw is one of the main causes of environmental pollution. Therefore, solutions to eliminate plastic straws are urgently needed.

An effective alternative to plastic straws are straws made from natural materials. These products are of natural origin, eco-friendly, and safe for the user. They are very popular and are widely used in many restaurants and bars. Paper straws have a quick decomposition time and can be completely broken down in a natural environment without harming the soil and water environment.

Replacing plastic containers with cardboard containers

Consumers are becoming increasingly savvy in selecting their consumer goods and are seriously considering the global trend of sustainable living. This means people now prefer paper packaging instead of plastic packaging for food and beverages. Shops that do not change their packaging risk losing a significant number of potential customers.

Cardboard packaging, on the other hand, has good biological degradation properties. It takes only about 3 to 5 months to fully decompose. Additionally, after decomposing, the products can be used as fertilizer, which benefits the soil. Cardboard packaging can also be reused for many other purposes.

Using paper bags for delivery

A very positive trend is that many restaurants/cafés now think progressively and opt for the use of paper bags instead of plastic bags to be more environmentally friendly. You may not know that using paper bags helps reduce the waste process, minimizes the production of plastic bags, and reduces the recycling process for plastics. At the same time, the unpleasant sight of too many plastic bags used for delivery is avoided, and above all, this helps drastically reduce the negative impact on the environment.

Restaurants that use paper bags for delivery can assure their customers that their orders are neatly and safely packed in the bag and that the quality of the products remains fresh and hot. Additionally, the bags can be reused multiple times, for shopping, storing books, personal items, etc. Recently, paper bags have become increasingly popular among young people, not only because of their practical use but also because of their individual style and expression.

Planting more plants

The presence of more plants in restaurants/cafés contributes significantly to promoting health. Observing plants has a positive effect on relaxation, especially after exhausting, tiring, and stressful working hours. Guests tend to seek out places with green and cool spaces to integrate into nature. Plants not only contribute to increasing humidity but also significantly reduce dust and pollution. This helps avoid potential allergens in the body.
