Westin Kolkata Rajarhat Goes Plastic-Free with Sustainable Drinking Water Solution

The Westin Kolkata Rajarhat has embraced sustainability as a key aspect of their operations and has taken a significant step towards conservation.

They have adopted a sustainable solution for drinking water that aligns with Marriott International's sustainability policy.

This plastic-free solution not only eliminates the use of plastic but also reduces carbon emissions by eliminating the need to transport plastic water bottles over long distances.

In collaboration with Lucerne Waters Private Limited, The Westin Kolkata Rajarhat has installed an automated bottling plant that produces sustainable drinking water using biodegradable materials.

The purpose of this initiative is to reduce the usage of single-use plastic. With a daily consumption of 3000 liters of drinking water for its 304 rooms, the hotel has switched to serving water in glass bottles to support this plastic-free initiative.

“We are happy to collaborate with Lucerne Waters Private Limited to develop sustainable solutions which aligns with Marriott International's. This partnership with Lucerne Waters Private Limited marks the hotel's first initiative towards making a positive impact on the environment. The hotel is committed to developing more such environmentally friendly drive that meet such evolving needs and provide innovative approaches to sustainable living” said Mr. Subhash Sinha,General Manager of The Westin Kolkata Rajarhat

The Westin Kolkata Rajarhat's decision to adopt a plastic-free solution for drinking water not only helps to decrease the amount of plastic waste generated by the hotel but also plays a role in promoting conservation.

This initiative serves as an inspiration for other businesses to adopt similar practices and contribute towards creating a sustainable future where single-use plastics are eliminated.

The hotel is dedicated to promoting responsible and eco-friendly tourism practices and reducing its carbon footprint, thus combining the features of both responsible tourism and ecotourism.
