BUILDING THE BEST SUSTAINABLE HOTEL
Hotel Alimara has been one of the 5 selected hotels in Barcelona to participate in a pilot program that evaluates how we can adapt the best hotels in Barcelona to turn them into a sustainable and low environmental impact space.
The CIRC HOTEL project created by Club EMAS aims to transfer the concept of circular economy and symbiosis to the tourism services sector (accommodation).
It aims to achieve this through practical actions of prevention, reuse and transformation of materials in order to reduce waste generation and find solutions within the hotel itself or with other organizations, as well as to create new products that have a high commercial, environmental and social value.
BECOMING MORE SUSTAINABLE: THE CHALLENGE FOR HOTELS IN THE 21ST CENTURY
The EMAS Club is a private, non-profit association, formed by companies and other organizations from different sectors and sizes, which have the common goal of environmental improvement, materialized in their participation with the Community Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS).
The companies and organizations that are part of the EMAS Club are characterized by their voluntary efforts in defense of the environment beyond compliance with environmental legislation.
On February 23, the EMAS Club presented the results of its study and the conclusions of good practices that hotels can apply now to become more sustainable .
Hotel Alimara, along with the other participants in the project, explained their experience through the presentation of its director, Eva Izquierdo, and the changes they have implemented to be more environmentally responsible and actively participate in the circular economy.
