ECO Amenities

ECO Amenities is our sustainability brand, built for properties moving away from single-use plastic. It centres on biodegradable materials, paper packaging, soy-ink printing and sustainably sourced palm-based formulas.

Decide what you are reducing first

Buyers arrive at this line with three different goals, and they lead to three different orders. Sorting out which one applies is the most useful thing you can do before asking anyone for a quote.

Less plastic — measured in grams of plastic per occupied room. Points to paper packaging, bar formats and refillable bulk. Less total waste — measured by everything thrown away. Points to refillable bulk and fewer, larger formats; single-use paper does little for this. Documented material sourcing — measured by paper trail. Points to FSC-certified board and RSPO palm-based formulas.

These pull in different directions. A single-use paper box lowers plastic but not waste volume. A refillable dispenser lowers both, but changes the guest experience and the housekeeping routine. Deciding the criterion first is what makes competing quotes comparable at all; the trade-offs are worked through in eco-friendly amenity programs.

What the line covers

Paper-packaged bath line — sugarcane and kraft board with soy-ink printing, replacing plastic secondary packaging. Refillable bulk systems — 1 L to 5 L refills feeding wall-mounted dispensers. The largest reduction per room, and the one that requires an operational change rather than just a purchasing change. Paper and bamboo dry goods — paper-handle and bamboo toothbrushes, combs and kits, replacing moulded plastic in the drawer.

Being precise about certification

This is where the sector oversells, so we will be exact.

Factory-level, held by us: ISO 9001, GMPC, FDA, GRS, ISO 14001, ISO 45001. GRS covers recycled content and ISO 14001 covers the plant’s environmental management system.

Material-level, held by the raw-material supplier: FSC for paper and board, RSPO for palm-derived ingredients. These are real and they are usable in your sourcing documentation — but they are certifications of the material, not badges belonging to our factory, and we will not present them as ours.

If an internal policy requires a certification that is not on either list, ask before production rather than discovering the gap at audit. That is a cheap conversation in week one and an expensive one in week twenty.

Also worth separating two words the industry uses interchangeably: biodegradable means a material breaks down biologically, with no promise about timeframe or conditions; compostable means it breaks down within a defined period under defined conditions, which in most cases means industrial composting rather than a bin in a guest room. If the actual destination of your waste is landfill or incineration, the format that helps is the one that generates less of it.

A transition that tends to work

Changing an entire program at once raises cost in a single step and puts any problem in every room simultaneously. The order that holds up: secondary packaging first (boxes and sleeves to paper — invisible to the guest, low risk), then dry goods, then the shower last, where the saving is largest but the guest notices most. Keep the fragrance constant throughout, so the change reads as an environmental decision rather than a cost cut.

Specifying it

The full range is on the eco line page, and our wider approach is set out under sustainability. Custom production starts at 5,000 units per item, with artwork and physical samples before the run. Tell us which of the three goals above applies and which market the property operates in, and we will propose formats with a quote.
