"Glad Hotel Hosts Event to Celebrate Introduction of Label-Free Water and Eco Exchange Booth"

[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] Glad Hotel announced on the 2nd that it will replace the free bottled water provided at its four Seoul Glad Hotels (Yeouido, Mapo, Gangnam COEX Center, Live Gangnam) with unlabeled products from 'Sansu Beverage.' An 'Eco Exchange Station' for collecting empty water bottles will also be installed.

Glad Hotel stated, "We will install an 'Eco Exchange Station' on the first floor of Glad Yeouido in collaboration with Sansu Beverage, a drinking water specialist company that has introduced eco-friendly issues to the bottled water industry by applying low-carbon bio-PET water bottles." The Eco Exchange Station is a place where guests can return empty water bottles used during their stay. All collected empty bottles will be directly retrieved by Sansu Beverage and recycled into yarn to be reborn as functional T-shirts for domestic clothing brands. Glad Hotel said, "Through this, we will contribute to minimizing the negative environmental impact and the amount of wasted resources."

Glad is also conducting the 'Green GLAD' event through its official account. The hotel explained that the event is designed to encourage participation in Glad’s eco-friendly activities and to promote various eco-friendly actions in daily life.

To participate in the event, follow the official Glad Hotel account, click 'Like' on the 'Green GLAD' event post, tag a friend who will join the eco-friendly movement, and leave a comment. Posting a certification photo of actions taken at the Eco Exchange Station or other eco-friendly practices along with the required hashtags (#GladEcoExchangeStation #EcoFriendly #GreenGLAD #GladHotel #GladMoment) will increase the chances of winning.

The event runs until the 16th. Various eco-friendly related prizes such as the 'Green Hotel Stay Package,' 'I'm Eco Package,' 'Sansu Camping Set,' and 'Glad Tumbler' will be offered. Winners will be announced on the 20th. For more details, please check the official Glad Hotel account.

A marketing representative from Glad Hotel said, "Providing unlabeled bottled water and installing the Eco Exchange Station are examples of Glad Hotel’s ongoing eco-friendly efforts. We hope this opportunity encourages easy yet challenging environmental protection practices in daily life and that guests do not miss the chance to receive eco-friendly products prepared by Glad Hotel."
