Leading Plastic-Free and Circular Solutions for your Hotel
We make it easier for you to reduce plastic usage with innovative, turnkey solutions. By partnering with top suppliers, we redesign product offerings to bring plastic-free options to every part of your hotel—from guest-facing items like straws, cups, and toiletries to essential back-of-house materials.
Simultaneously, we are committed to advancing the circular economy by incorporating its principles into our product specifications and the selection of nominated solutions, particularly within our supply chain decarbonization plan. Our approach prioritizes products with the lowest environmental impact throughout their lifecycle – encompassing design, use, and end-of-life.
With Astore’s support, you can seamlessly integrate sustainable practices into your operations, enhancing your environmental credentials and meeting guest expectations for responsible hospitality.
