Hospitality

• A hotel brand/chain with 100,000 rooms generates approximately 2.5 MILLION pounds of plastic waste annually from trash can liners, ice bucket liners and laundry bags.
• According to the EPA, 8.5% of plastic material in the U.S. is recycled. Another 15.8% is combusted for energy, leaving 75.7% that is sent to landfills.
• By converting to MultiPlast BEDA®Bags, this plastic waste will be converted to biodegradable waste, significantly reducing stress on the environment.
• MSI has numerous sizes of bag-type products made with BEDA® that will enable your property to offer Packaging with a Conscience™ as part of your sustainable initiative.
