Opened just over one and half years, TRYP by Wyndham Dubai, a 650-room hotel in Barsha Heights, revolutionized the industry by introducing one of the most sophisticated green initiatives of any hotel in the Middle East. A market leader in sustainability, the hotel has fully operationalised the region’s first ever glass water bottle refilling system, completely eliminating the use of plastic bottles. The water filtration system removes chlorine and contaminants from mains water. The glass bottles, once used, are cleaned, refilled and labeled in-house – often plastic bottle free initiatives still see much waste going in to landfill. Another policy central to the hotel’s green initiatives is that it will be the first hotel in the Middle East to use sustainable paper toweling manufactured from 100% locally recycled cardboard. From toilet paper, to tissues and hand towels, all will be manufactured in the UAE, an initiative exclusively created for TRYP by Wyndham Dubai. The hotel’s investment in the project is part of its LUVE (Love Your Vibrant Earth) initiative, which was introduced in 2018 to reduce waste, re-use materials, and give back to its community and guests. Upon becoming 100% plastic bottle free, Jo-Ella Moore, GM, TRYP by Wyndham Dubai said, “We are acutely aware of our responsibility to the UAE to reduce plastic waste and are delighted to partner with No More Bottles in this ground-breaking initiative; we will be PET bottle free. By phasing out plastic bottled water along with our in-house refilling process and other green initiatives, we aim to raise the bar in terms of environmental best practices in the hospitality industry.”
