Dorsett WanChai fights against plastic pollution with new sustainability push

Dorsett WanChai has stepped up its commitment towards sustainability with the launch of "GoGreen Promise" and a series of paperless and plastic-free sustainability initiatives, to beat plastic pollution this World Environment Day.

As part of the initiatives, the hotel will first welcome guests with the refreshing botanical Green Corner, and then Jasper, the Guest Service Robot will help with seamless and paperless check-in experience 24/7. Aiming to #beatplasticpolluton, the hotel has also adopted versatile, biodegradable wooden key cards, replacing the traditional plastic versions.

During the hotel stay, guests can enjoy quality filtered water from Well# water dispensers with complimentary, reusable Dorsett glass bottle in-room. The hotel has also adopted ELEMIS refillable shower amenities. If needed, other bathroom amenities can be redeemed with a complimentary cash voucher from 24-hour vending machines at the hotel lobby.

These programmes encourage hotel guests to use only what is needed to reduce unnecessary waste and help to minimise plastic consumption at source.

To encourage the use of public transportation over private cars or taxis, limiting carbon emissions without sacrificing convenience, the hotel provides a free shuttle bus service that stops at various locations across Hong Kong including Wan Chai, Causeway Bay and Central.

Anita Chan, general manager of Dorsett Wanchai, said: "We see this as an opportunity to provide world-class services and amenities to our guests while making a positive impact on our environment. More so than ever, businesses are recognizing their impact on communities and the globe. Sustainable travel can be a force for good with our unremitting efforts."
