While hotels and lodging properties share many of the same waste reduction priorities as other commercial facilities, they face unique challenges in implementing effective diversion programs. From preventing food waste and reducing single-use packaging to managing operational logistics, training staff, and navigating service contracts, properties must balance sustainability goals with the need to maintain a positive and seamless guest experience.

This webinar featured three presentations exploring practical strategies and opportunities for advancing waste reduction in the hotel and lodging sector. Through real-world examples and case studies, our speakers shared insights into implementing zero-waste initiatives, improving waste diversion, reducing operational costs, and integrating sustainable practices into daily operations.
