In a significant move towards sustainability, Shangri-La Eros New Delhi launches its in-house water bottling plant, ‘Essence’, to reduce its carbon footprint and reinforce eco-friendly practices.
With the project ‘Essence’, the hotel now filters, purifies, and bottles drinking water on-site, ensuring clarity, cleanliness, and safety. This initiative aligns with the hotel’s environmental philosophy and aims to preserve indigenous ecosystems.
The bottling plant employs groundbreaking CDI (Capacitive Deionization) technology, demonstrating the hotel’s dedication to environmental sustainability. CDI technology efficiently removes salts from ground or surface water without using harmful chemicals or membrane filters. Each drop of water undergoes meticulous refinement through a series of filtration stages, followed by the introduction of ozone, a disinfectant far superior to chlorine.
The programme provides fresh water to guests in sterilised and sealed glass bottles, eliminating an estimated 122,304 single-use plastic bottles in approximately two and a half months. This bottled water is now a permanent amenity in all guest rooms, food and beverage outlets, and event spaces.
Shangri-La Eros New Delhi continues its efforts to eradicate single-use plastic across its operations, with the newly installed water bottling plant marking a significant step towards sustainability and meaningful guest experiences.
