Summary of the project
Martin's Hotels is a company that owns and operates hotels and that handles all of the group’s centralised activities and services. It applies the circular economy model to its purchasing, waste and during the renovations it undertakes at the various sites.
The target is to improve waste sorting management through selective sorting (glass, paper/cardboard, organic, plastic, used oils, batteries, neons and tube lighting, cartridges and toners, computer equipment, HVAC filters, etc.). The group has set itself the goal of sorting at least 30% of all waste generated. The indicator used is a percentage of the volume in KG or expenditure in € of waste entering a selective sorting channel in relation to the total volume of all the waste combined.
Thereby Martin's Hotels keeps the disposal invoices for all its operations, whether they are located in Flanders or in other regions. Similarly, annually, a summary of the waste evacuated, by type and by operation, is requested from the company collecting the waste from Martin's Hotels Group. This allows Martin's Hotels to monitor and control the quantities and type of waste being evacuated at any time.
