Doing Their Bit
Sustainable Nottingham How city centre businesses are making a difference DIESEL
LACE MARKET HOTEL
Diesel is formally committed to implementing a responsible business strategy that is respectful of people and the environment. Building upon this philosophy and its positively disruptive outlook, the brand's sustainability strategy is centred around four key pillars and commitments. These are to ‘Be the alternative’ – creating alternative, responsible products and packaging. To ‘Stand up for the planet’ – committing to climate action. They ‘Celebrate individuality’ – committing to developing a sustainability culture within the company and to ‘Promote integrity’ - working towards the highest social and environmental standards throughout its supply chain.
In December, Lace Market Hotel took a small step to make a big change at the hotel. Every year in hotels, hundreds of thousands of miniature plastic toiletry bottles get thrown away and end up in landfill. They took the decision to remove all single use toiletries from their rooms and replace them with reusable dispensers made of recycled materials. They have partnered with Natural Remedies who produce vegan friendly toiletries using 95% organic ingredients such as sage, blackcurrant, nettle and bergamot. They contain no colorants and are parabon and silicone free. They estimated that they were using 90,000 miniature bottles per year - which equates to almost 1 tonne of plastic waste. This simple change will make a massive difference.
