Glad Hotel × Sansu Beverage, Production of Eco-Friendly Uniforms

Glad Hotel × Sansu Beverage, Eco-Friendly Uniform.

[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] Glad Hotel announced on the 6th that it will collaborate with Sansu Beverage to upcycle label-free water bottles provided at Glad Hotels in the Seoul area (Glad Yeouido, Glad Mapo, Glad Gangnam COEX Center) into eco-friendly uniforms.

Glad Hotel participated in Sansu Beverage's natural circulation campaign, "Closing the Loop," collecting empty label-free water PET bottles provided as amenities from August to November 2021 and delivering them to Sansu Beverage. The delivered PET bottles amounted to approximately 157,000 bottles of 500ml water, which weighs about 2 tons. Considering that disposing of one empty PET bottle emits 60g of carbon dioxide, this resulted in a carbon dioxide reduction effect of 9.42 million kg.

The eco-friendly uniforms introduced this time are made from recycled polyester domestic yarn and will be provided as uniform shirts and aprons for staff at Glad Yeouido’s buffet restaurant "Gritz." Glad Hotel also created eco-friendly patches to attach to staff uniforms as a symbol of continuous interest and participation in eco-friendly campaigns.

Additionally, in August last year, Glad Hotel installed an "Eco Exchange Center" in the lobby on the first floor of Glad Yeouido to collect water bottles used during guests’ stays in collaboration with Sansu Beverage. To commemorate this, they held the "Green Glad" customer participation event, offering opportunities for various eco-friendly activities in daily life. Maison Glad Jeju signed an "Eco-friendly ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) Campaign" agreement with eco-friendly upcycling startup Jeclin in October last year, providing discarded bedding products from Maison Glad Jeju for upcycling into eco-friendly products.

Along with this, Glad Hotel is promoting the eco-friendly program "Save Earth, Save Jeju." This green card program encourages guests to refrain from washing bedding during consecutive stays, and the in-room notices are made of linen material for repeated use after washing. Efforts to reduce single-use items include installing large-capacity dispensers in rooms. Glad Hotel also provides personal tumblers to employees and participates in the Ministry of Environment’s eco-friendly campaign "GoGo Challenge." Through collaborations with eco-friendly brands, they have launched packages such as the Green Hotel Stay Package, I Am Co Package, Seoul Good Travel Package, and Jeju Good Travel Season 2 Package. Maison Glad Jeju also produces and sells eco-friendly pet products such as pet cushions and toys made from the bedding and towels used at the hotel.
