Eco Friendly Hotel Triton
The days of sacrificing style and comfort to be environmentally conscious are long gone. Hotel Triton is a pioneer and an inspiration, leading the hospitality industry in its efforts to preserve the planet. It all started with Hotel Triton's one of a kind Eco-Floor™ launched in conjunction with Earth Day in the 1990s. In 2003, the hotel spread its eco-practices to all floors and fostered alliances with organizations such as Trust for Public Land, Green Fusion, Collage Foundation and Happy Planet. Hotel Triton has integrated practices such as a sophisticated waste recycling program, biodegradable cleaning products, recycled paper, and organic coffee. Hotel Triton's environmental efforts became the inspiration and blueprint for Kimpton Hotel's eco-program in 2005, which is now being implemented at all Kimpton Hotels nationwide.
Just a few of the ways we're eco-friendly at the Hotel Triton:
- Our linen and towel re-use program reduces laundry detergent and water use by 25%.
- All rooms on our 7th Floor Eco Floor have water saving devices, water filtration systems, and air filtration/purifiers.
- The Hotel Triton Energy Efficiency Program has outfitted our entire hotel with motion sensors wherever possible.
- Our extensive recycling program helps the hotel recycle 60% of our waste. Guest recycling receptacles have been placed in all guestrooms so that guests also can recycle.
- Morning Coffee Service. Individual milk portions have been happily replaced with milk purchased by the gallon, to reduce waste from packaging. Napkins are made from recycled paper.
- Printing. All new hotel collateral and paper is 100% recycled and using soy-based inks.
- Office paper here at the Hotel Triton is printed on both sides, and then recycled. We use recycled toner. The Hotel Triton is also in an on-going move to paperless, using Internet-based reports to reduce paper waste.
- All cleaning agents and chemicals used to clean guestrooms have been replaced by non-toxic, environmentally safe products. This has assisted us in the elimination of bleach and ammonia based products.
- Paint: Replacement of all paints and solvents with eco-friendly paints (low VOC).
- Landfill Use Reduction. All usable hotel items are donated to local non-profit organizations (furniture, mattresses, artwork, equipment, a/c units, refrigerators, linens and towels, lost-and-found items, wall coverings, etc.).
- In-House Laundry. Our commercial washer and dryer have been replaced by energy and water-efficient equipment along with the use of environmentally safe detergents.
- Air conditioning and in-room minibars have been replaced with energy-efficient models.
- Employee Areas. Disposable cups have been eliminated from the break room, and metal laundry hangers are returned to the uniform laundry company in an extensive recycling program.
