Eliminating plastic keycards is a small but significant step toward improving sustainability in hotels.
Choose alternatives:
- Digital keys: Hotels can offer guests digital keys via smartphone to eliminate keycards altogether.
- Wooden keycards: biodegradable, recyclable or compostable after use. Certainly a better alternative to plastic although still a source of waste and therefore not 100% sustainable.
What benefit do hotels have in adopting keyless technologies?
- Reduced plastic waste: by eliminating plastic keycards-often thrown away after the stay-hotels can reduce the amount of plastic waste they generate. Switching to a more sustainable option reduces hotels' environmental footprint.
- Increasing guest satisfaction: increasingly environmentally conscious and eager to reduce their environmental footprint, your guests will find the initiative to eliminate plastic keycards an effective demonstration of commitment to sustainability.
- Reduce costs: expensive in production and distrubution, plastic keycards must also be replaced regularly. By switching to a more sustainable option, hotels can reduce these costs over time.
- Improved brand image: hotels that prioritize sustainability are seen as more socially responsible and environmentally conscious. Eliminating plastic keycards improves brand image and attracts more environmentally conscious customers.
