Elevating sustainability efforts and reducing a hotel’s environmental footprint remain top of mind for hoteliers heading into 2025 and beyond. While solutions powered by artificial intelligence are being touted for reducing a hotel’s energy, water and waste management systems, there has been an increased focus on making hotel bath amenities more sustainable. Having taken note, innovative companies are developing new products to meet this demand and distinguish themselves in the market.
Implementing enhanced sustainable initiatives is not just good for the planet – it also makes smart business sense. A more environmentally conscious approach to hotel bath amenities delivers significant benefits – hotels can dramatically reduce waste, improve the efficiency of the housekeeping department while maintaining the highest hygiene standards, and save money that can be reinvested into enriching the hotel product and guest experience.
Diminishing Waste To Reduce Eco-Footprint
Incorporating ways to decrease waste in an industry as large as hospitality is a critical move toward improving sustainability. When it comes to bath amenities, using refillable dispensers instead of small cosmetic plastic bottles can meaningfully reduce a hotel’s environmental footprint.
Transforming the hotel amenities business with its launch this past summer, ADA Cosmetics Refillution is a state-of-the-art, automated refill solution that drives sustainability through a game-changing refilling system whereby dispensers are reused instead of thrown away.
The numbers speak volumes about the positive impact of this type of waste reduction. According to ADA Cosmetics, switching to refillable dispensers cuts plastic waste by 95% and saves an average of 10 lb / 4.5 kg of plastic per hotel room per year. The company’s proprietary 2.6 gal / 10-liter containers are connected via a professional click-on system; each container replaces 34 dispenser bottles and can be fully deflated, reducing liquid waste by up to 30%. Additionally, each container is made of just 5.6 oz / 160 g of recyclable LDPE (low-density polyethylene) plastic.
Elevating Housekeeping Efficiency
Hotels are constantly seeking ways to improve the operating efficiency of its housekeeping department, especially in the face of labor challenges currently affecting the hotel industry. As an added bonus beyond raising productivity, heightened efficiency can bolster employee morale and guest satisfaction.
It’s a win-win situation when improving housekeeping efficiency also furthers a hotel’s eco-conscious efforts without sacrificing the quality of the guest stay. ADA Cosmetics Refillution system automatically refills a 10-oz / 300-ml dispenser in a matter of seconds, allowing the housekeeping team to quickly refill bottles and then replace them in hotel rooms. This user-friendly solution is compatible exclusively with the company’s best-selling hygienic systems like SmartCare, with its patented membrane technology featuring a safe-lock seal, and different pump dispenser systems that are equipped with patented mono-material hygiene pumps. Accompanying tools include stackable, color-coded dispenser trays, a trolley for transportation, a storage cover to protect against dust and dirt, and a tool to open and close the dispensers. Additionally, eliminating the need for dispenser storage saves work time and space.
Ease of use is critical when it comes to maximizing efficiency. Designed to be effortless and intuitive, the machine’s HMI interface features a “ready for refill” checkmark, indicating that system is set for refilling; the speed and liquid output are easily adjusted via a potentiometer by hand or, alternatively, with a foot pedal. Automated LED lighting makes the fill level of each bottle visible to avoid spillage. The ultra-high-resolution display is programmed by color according to whether shampoo, conditioner, body wash, or body lotion is being refilled; the corresponding containers and storage trays are also matched by color.
Effectively Maximizing Hygiene
With superior cleanliness and optimized hygiene in the hotel bathroom being imperative for the highest levels of guest satisfaction, elevating eco-conscious efforts and operating efficiency can be done while keeping hygiene top of mind.
The details are in the design. The patented high-tech machine is fitted with a medical-grade pump, avoiding contact with the liquid, which is contained within a flexible tube for maximum hygiene. A one-piece elastomeric duckbill valve prevents any backflow and any potential contamination of the liquid as well as any dripping. A tray enables opened components such as caps or pumps to be placed on a clean, hygienic surface during refill.
ADA Cosmetics Refillution is designed in sustainable and durable stainless steel with a smooth, satin finish – a non-porous surface typically used for professional devices in hospitals and kitchens where hygiene is crucial – which can also be cleaned and sanitized quickly and easily.
Saving Money With Innovative Sustainable Solutions
Cost pressures are real for hoteliers, so innovative solutions that offer multiple benefits – such as doing good for the environment, streamlining operations, and saving money – are particularly attractive.
ADA Cosmetics Refillution is an all-in-one solution and part of a package deal at no extra cost to the hotelier. Using the system typically delivers monetary savings of 30% on the spend for hotel bath amenities – substantial savings that can be reinvested into enhancing the property.
ADA Cosmetics Refillution is more than a machine — it is a complete, 360-degree concept that ensures hotels will always have a fresh supply of amenities on hand for their guests. This solution provides maximum bang for a hotelier’s buck, making it an even more compelling buy for hotels.
