The "Rebirth" of Waste: A Leading Role in Hotel Room Supplies

On the 5th of June, we celebrated the 53rd World Environment Day, and this year's theme is "Comprehensively Promoting the Construction of a Beautiful China", encouraging the participation of all people to promote the construction of waste-free cities with high standards. Every hotel is just like a small city, covering all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

In 2021, China proposed to peak its carbon emissions by 2030 and work towards carbon neutrality by 2060.

For the hotel industry, hotels are the micro-ecology of the human environment. Let us take Accor as an example: Accor Group hotels welcome an average of 500,000 guests per day, each hotel generates an average of 45 tons of waste per year, with a carbon footprint of around 4.7 million tons of CO2. The hotel industry is under tremendous pressure to make a low-carbon transition.

Shanghai Tonney actively promotes green and low-carbon reform on the supply side of products. It explores the development of hotel room products based on renewable resources from all aspects and promotes the practice of low-carbon sustainable development in the hotel industry.

Each year, China produces 700 million tons of crop straw. And nut shells, coffee shells are countless, burning a large number of discarded crops will in a short period of time sharply exacerbate the haze pollution. For every ton of straw that is fully utilized, 1.8 kilograms of air pollutants will be reduced and 0.5 tons of wood will be avoided.

After scientific processing, straw can be transformed into straw pulp, the raw material for paper products: such as paper towels and paper. At the same time, Shanghai Tonney develops a series of customized hotel room supplies, such as garbage cans, coat hangers, supply boxes, and toiletries, using coffee shells, nut shells, and other discarded crops as raw materials, taking into account aesthetic and practical values, maximizing the win-win situation of economic and environmental benefits, and contributing to energy conservation and emission reduction in the hotel industry.

The large number of discarded mineral water bottles not only takes up valuable land resources, but can also pollute the environment. Covestro, a global materials company, is an expert in recycling and has established a complete chain of recycling, processing and remanufacturing. TONNEY has partnered with Covestro to explore more possibilities for a mineral water bottle.

At the same time, with the technical support of Aliyun Energy Consumption Treasure, the complete carbon footprint is calculated as well as the specific carbon reduction data that a product brings to a guest room. This process of turning waste into treasure not only reduces waste generation and pollution to the environment, but also lowers carbon emissions, helping the hotel's sustainable development.

In addition to product and service innovation, Shanghai Tonney also actively promotes the concept of environmental protection and cooperates with hotels to conduct environmental protection activities to raise consumers' awareness of environmental protection. We hope to contribute to the low-carbon and sustainable development of the hotel industry through its own efforts.

In the future, shanghai Tonney will continue to work in the field of environmental protection, constantly explore new eco-friendly materials and technologies, and introduce more high-quality eco-friendly hotel supplies. At the same time, we will also strengthen cooperation with major brand enterprises and jointly promote the green and low-carbon transformation of hotels, contributing to green and sustainable development and jointly protecting our beautiful home planet.
