Recycling and Sustainability in Hospitality
This article will explore how you can incorporate products made from recycled plastic in your “going green” initiatives, as well as the benefits these changes can hold for your business.
Importance of plastic water bottle recycling
Incorporate recycled products in your "going green" initiatives starting with hospitality textiles
What can recycled plastic water bottles become?
- Staff uniforms
- Restaurant Napkins
- Bedding/pillow insulation
- Carpeting
- Furniture like chairs and luggage racks
How Water Bottles Become Napkins
- 1. The process begins of course with collection recycled water bottles. They are thoroughly inspected to remove any foreign objects or liquids.
- 2. They are then dried, sterilized, and crushed into small chips.
- 3. They are then melted down and extruded into a new fiber.
- 4. That fiber can now be dyed, sewn, and made into textile products like our Rienu Napkins.

Benefits of commerical laundry businesses using products made from recycled plastic
Including recycled products in your inventory holds major benefits for your impact and budget. Let’s consider 100% post-consumer recycled polyester fabrics that are used to make sustainable table napkins, staff uniforms, and bedding.
Not only are these linens made from recycled water bottles, but they’re also more eco-friendly than traditional cotton.
- Dries faster – uses less electricity
- Withstands more wear and tear – needs less replacing
- Crease-resistant – less ironing before use
- Stain-resistant – won’t stain as easily as cotton
By using recycled polyester fabrics in your hotel or restaurant, far fewer resources are being used than when you purchase non-recycled linen fabrics. Thus lowering your carbon footprint.
Did you know?
It takes about 10 plastic water bottles to make enough poly-fiber for a staff shirt.
With only 3 recycled plastic bottles, you can make enough polyester for a quality restaurant napkin.
