Best Western launches Australia's
first fully biodegradable hotel products
Best Western has become the
first hotel chain in Australia to adopt fully biodegradable bathroom
products. With supplier company Concept Amenities Pty Ltd, Best
Western Australasia's new shower caps, soaps and shampoos are now
fully biodegradable - in both products and packages.
Unlike other biodegradable products, the Best Western range contains
the organic additive Eco PureŽ, which breaks down the product and
package by turning them into food for microorganisms. This breaks
the product down completely.
"We are very proud to launch this range of products," says Spencer
Watson, Regional Services and Quality Assurance Manager for Best
Western Australasia. "This will reduce thousands of tonnes of
plastic waste from filling landfill".
Many 'green' products on the market do not live up to their claims.
Most cornstarch, plant-based products currently on the market take a
lot longer to breakdown and are only biodegrade when placed in a
specialised industrial composting facility. The Best Western
products start breaking down immediately when placed in landfill.
"Best Western takes its environmental responsibility seriously,"
Watson says, "and this is another measure we have implemented to do
our part."
