Paper vs Plastic: Building a Low-Waste Hotel Amenity Program

UMYAN · Jun 2, 2026

Cutting single-use plastic from guest amenities is now a procurement and ESG priority. The good news: you can reduce plastic significantly without lowering guest-perceived quality. Here’s where the biggest wins are.

Swap packaging to paper

Sugarcane and kraft paper boxes and sleeves, printed with soy ink on FSC-sourced board, replace plastic boxes and sachets. Explore the eco line.

Choose responsible formulas

Palm-based formulas on RSPO-certified sustainable oil reduce the footprint of your bath care. See our certifications.

Move to refillable bulk

Wall-mounted dispensers with 1L–5L bulk remove hundreds of single-use bottles per room each year — and you can keep your existing fragrance.

Add solid bars

Solid shampoo and conditioner bars remove the bottle entirely, a strong option for ESG-led properties.

Keep the guest experience

The key is that eco formats can carry your existing formula and fragrance, so guests notice less waste, not less quality. Read more on our sustainability approach.
