Newark Liberty International Airport Marriott to be Featured in CNN's "Leaders With Heart"
Hotel Recognized for Its Participation with Green Recoverings Organization
CNN recently sent a crew to film blankets being donated by the Newark Liberty International Airport Marriott to 'Green Recoverings', an organization that works with hotels to donate gently used bedding, towels, and other household type disards and gives them to those in need while at the same time reducing waste in landfills.
The shoot was part of a "Leaders With Heart" segment that will air on the cable network next month and features Green Recoverings founder Mary Marzano. Ms. Marzano has partnered with the Newark Liberty International Airport Marriott to recycle their used bedding.
Until recently, blankets, pillows, sheets, comforters, and towels which were deemed unusable for the hotel's guestrooms, ended up in the trash, and with 591 rooms, linen turnover is high.
As a result, the Newark Liberty International Airport Marriott teamed up with Green Recoverings and is now donating surplus, gently used blankets, pillows, sheets, comforters, and towels which Green Recoverings will give to shelters, charities, and families in need in the local community. Additionally, the hotel solicited the involvement of Jim Morris, General Manager, Marriott New Jersey Textile Services and the other Marriott and Renaissance hotels in the Elizabeth, New Jersey area have become involved as well.
According to Pat Strocchia, Director of Sales and Marketing at the hotel, "This program is a win-win for all involved, allowing us to help our neighbors in need and be gentle on the environment at the same time."
