Radisson Blu Cebu welcomes nature-friendly initiatives as the deluxe hotel announces the elimination of plastic straws beginning 15 October 2018.

 

As part of its commitment to constantly engage in Responsible Business, the 400-room property has replaced plastic straws with paper straws that meet sustainable paper considerations.  These paper straws will be served only upon request, where possible.

 

This green initiative actively supports the hotel’s greater goal of minimizing its environmental footprint by reinforcing sustainable alternatives in daily operations, such as eliminating single-use plastics, intensifying waste reduction, and increased recycling.

 

“Implementing a ban on plastic straws across our property is a vital step in the more challenging, yet ultimately more inspiring mission – to protect our environment by reducing the volume of plastic waste around us,” says General Manager Stephan Sieberg.

 

Radisson Blu Cebu also advocates the recycling of non-biodegradable waste through the collection of discarded plastic and glass bottles.

 

In dynamic collaborations with the Cebu City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CCENRO), a percentage of these bottles are shredded and turned into compounding ingredients for the construction of eco bricks, while the others are repurposed into biofences – 10-meter long floaters that are wired together and wrapped in fishnets.  Biofences are designed to swing loosely underwater to prevent garbage from reaching the city’s coastal areas.
