Eaton Hotel Hong Kong Taking "Green" Actions
Actively Participates in Glass Container Recycling Programme
DECEMBER 19, 2008. In conjunction with providing the highest standard of quality, services and spirit, Eaton Hotel Hong Kong is also devoted to making the world a greener place by implementing a series of environmental-friendly practices. Recently, Eaton Hotel has taken further action to support "Green" actions by launching a Glass Container Recycling Programme in alliance with the government environmental protection department.
With the launch of the Glass Container Recycling Programme, guests staying at Eaton Hotel are encouraged to return beverage glass containers to the specified collection bins in the guest rooms. The containers collected will be delivered to a glass recycler to be crushed into glass sand to replace natural river sand in paving block production.
"As a responsible corporation, the environment is always one of our paramount concerns. That's the reason why our corporation has launched 'Guest of the Earth' programme, to take proactive steps toward protecting our environment. Participating in the 'Glass Container Recycling Programme" is just one of the actions we have and we will continue to launch more 'Green' actions to save the earth." said Mr. John Kockan, the General Manager.
A series of "Green" actions being launched by Eaton Hotel Hong Kong include: installation of custom made water saving devices in the hotel's kitchens, resource conservation programmes for all working levels, recycling paper / plastic / aluminum cans / glass container on guests floors as well as all outlets. Apart from that, Eaton Hotel has also lined up with Friends of the Earth, one of the renowned green organizations worldwide and to use e-cards for seasons' greetings.
These practices are guaranteed to minimize the environmental damage.
