As a part of its sustainability efforts, Vasundhara Sarovar Premiere Vayalar has started a new process of recycling discarded towels by turning them into a planter box. This initiative from the engineering and housekeeping department at the hotel further reinforces its belief in ‘Reduce, Reuse & Recycle’.
This simple but highly significant initiative involves a process by which discarded towels are dipped in a cement mix and moulded into various shapes before the cement starts to set. These are left to dry for two days after which they can be painted and used as a planter box or for other utilities. A number of planter boxes have already been used successfully in various areas of the hotel. The team plans to continue making these planter boxes that would be used in all guest areas including smaller towels for table top, banquet table centre piece etc.
The team at Vasundhara Sarovar Premiere works hard to provide amenities and programs that reduce their environmental footprint on the planet. The hotel also won the First Place award in Kerala under ‘Hotels’ category by Kerala State Pollution Control Board in their Annual Awards 2017.
