Bahi Ajman Palace Hotel has announced a collaboration with Dr. Linen, joining its 360 Weave Textile Recycling Initiative.
The hotel, managed by Hospitality Management Holding (HMH), forwarded 745 kilograms of linens and uniforms, which had reached the end of their useful life cycle, to Dr. Linen, a company which specialises in handling and recycling textiles.
According to the company, the discarded linens and uniforms will now be processed and repurposed through the initiative.
The textiles industry is a major contributor to the climate crisis, responsible for around 10 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions, alongside high levels of resource intensity, while also contributing to 20 per cent of global clean water pollution.
Rates of recycling also remain incredibly low, and without action, the industry’s environmental footprint is only set to grow further.
“Handling over these end-of-life linens and uniforms is a testament to our ongoing efforts to promote sustainability,” commented Iftikhar Hamdani, Area General Manager of Bahi Ajman Palace Hotel, on the hotel’s participation in the textile recycling initiative.
“By taking this step, we are reducing our environmental footprint and promoting effective recycling and waste reduction. We look forward to a fruitful, long-term partnership with Dr. Linen™,” Hamdani added.
