Waste management
At Motel Centre-Ville, we are committed to managing our waste responsibly by reducing the amount of waste generated, increasing the recycling rate, and promoting the reuse of materials. Our goal is to minimize the environmental impact of our operations and contribute to the circular economy.
Guiding principles
Reduction at source: We strive to minimize waste production from the design of our products and services, by choosing sustainable materials, optimizing manufacturing processes and promoting solutions that generate less waste. We work with local businesses during renovations to maximize value.
Reuse: We encourage the reuse of materials and products, extending their life cycle through repair, refurbishment and resale initiatives. We encourage the donation of items or furniture as much as possible when it is not possible to refurbish them. We carefully select the beneficiary organizations.
Recycling: We are committed to maximizing the recycling of all waste generated by our activities, by rigorously sorting recyclable and other materials. Recycling containers have been added to the rooms and sorting islands are available to guests in the common areas.
Key actions
Waste Audit: Conduct regular audits to identify sources of residual materials, assess opportunities for reduction, reuse and recycling, and implement corrective actions.
Eliminating Single-Use Products: We have taken the bold step of eliminating single-use products. This initiative reflects our commitment to reducing our environmental footprint by eliminating unnecessary waste and promoting reusable and sustainable alternatives. By prioritizing more environmentally friendly solutions, we are not only helping to protect our planet, but also encouraging a more responsible lifestyle for our employees, customers and the community at large.
Employee training: Regularly train and raise awareness among employees about good waste management practices, including sorting at source, reducing consumables and responsible use of resources.
Partnerships: Collaborate with suppliers and service providers who share our commitment to waste management, and who offer innovative solutions to reduce, reuse and recycle.
Monitoring and evaluation: Establish performance indicators to monitor the progress of our waste management.
