Before we start how are we doing?
Current recycling rate (waste diversion rate) at Chateau Lake
Louise is 17%.
How do we stack up?
-Fairmont Royal York (Toronto) 67%
-Fairmont Waterfront (Vancouver) 82%
Industry average across all flags/hotel types that Keystone
has audited in Western Canada is 61%.
The Goal
The hotel produces tons of recyclable plastic, glass and metal each year. The
following objectives will be achieved by implementing a comprehensive recycling
program:
1)Divert approximately 2500 cubic metres of recyclable materials from landfill per
year.
2)Train and educate staff to ensure maximum diversion and minimum confusion;
3)Develop and install clear, standardized signage to minimize contamination of
recycling bins;
4)Develop efficient internal systems for collecting and transporting recyclable
materials within the hotel;
5)Monitor program performance to ensure waste diversion and ROI goals are
being met.
