Water & Waste Water

Purchase cover or tunnel dishwashers with a maximum consumption of 3.5 liters/basket. If possible, they should be set to eco-wash mode

Purchase industrial dishwashers and laundry machines, and not conventional domestic appliances

Purchase toilets with a maximum consumption of 6 liter/flush. The toilets must have a 3/6 liter dual flush

Recycle rinse water from dishwashers to wash away food residues on dishes

Register the hotel’ total consumption of cleaning agents at least once a month. Ensure that biodegradable and/or environmentally friendly products are indicated

Register the hotel’s total water consumption weekly

Train the Staff, especially Stewards and Housekeeping on the importance of saving water & have a system in check to look for leaks and dripping taps

Treat all wastewater and gray water. No open effluents. No sewage or desalination discharge is disposed into lagoons, bay areas or sea. Access of the hotel to an own or an external sewage treatment plant is obligatory

Try planting plants that are drought resistant or ones that do not require watering very often

Use a drip irrigation system that is controlled by timers for shrubs and trees so that water goes straight to the roots, preventing run-off

Use condensed water from steam cabinets for general cleaning purpose

Use high efficiency tools, e.g. high pressure jets, for poolside cleaning to reduce water use
