The global hotel industry is under increasing pressure to reduce its environmental footprint, especially when it comes to single-use plastics. Every year, hotels hand out millions of plastic water bottles and toiletry containers, most of which end up in landfills or the ocean. Travelers, regulators, and corporate clients are all demanding change.

That’s where BACFREE’s hotel disinfected direct drinking solution comes in—helping hotels eliminate plastic bottle waste, reduce costs, and meet sustainability goals.

The Scale of Plastic Waste in Hotels

  • The global hotel industry generates around 150 million tonnes of single-use plastic annually【sustainablehotelnews】.

  • Hotels distribute more than 350 million plastic toiletry bottles per year, with less than 10% recycled【ourgreenerhome】.

  • A 100-room hotel can discard up to 300,000 single-use plastic items each month【hotelemporium】.

Even bottled water alone is a huge contributor:

  • A 100-room hotel, with 70% occupancy and 2 bottles per guest per day, produces over 51,000 plastic bottles annually—equivalent to about 1 tonne of plastic waste.

Why Hotels Need a Smarter Alternative

Plastic waste isn’t just an environmental issue—it’s also a business problem:

  • High procurement costs for bottled water and logistics

  • Waste disposal burdens for hotel operations and facilities teams

  • Regulatory pressure as governments tighten single-use plastic bans

  • Reputational risk as travellers increasingly choose sustainable hotels
