Waste Management
A full waste audit has been completed to help make Gleneagles a more environmentally friendly hotel. This enabled us to quantify the waste streams throughout the resort and prioritise actions.
A recycling compound has been created to store all our recycling. Currently, Gleneagles recycles the following:
-
Glass – separated into clear, brown and green.
-
Cardboard
-
Polythene
-
PET – Polyethylene terephthalate
-
HDPE – High-density polyethylene
-
Paper
-
Cans
-
Plastic cups
There is an area within the compound to accommodate other products such as unused paints, excess furnishings, excess room amenities and pallets, to name a few.
Recycling of Organic Matter:
-
Green Waste is sent to a local farmer who has a composting business. The compost is then purchased at a favourable rate to be re-used throughout the resort.
-
Food waste macerators have now been installed within 4 kitchens and consequently are diverting food waste from landfill. Waste disposal units as well these macerators are used and the food that has been macerated is then transported off site for composting.
