Hotel & restaurant
The hotel, restaurant and fast food market segment must keep all areas of a building free from waste to ensure that they look clean and inviting to guests, to enable the free and unhindered movement of people and goods, and to maintain a high standard of hygiene. Here we look at the major needs that must be met in this market segment and steer selection of the most appropriate waste handling solutions based on compaction from Orwak.
Several Sources of Waste
Waste quickly accumulates in different locations such as hotel rooms, dining rooms, bars, gardens, corridors, and the pool area, lobby and kitchen. This waste can either be compacted directly where it occurs or transferred to a location where all waste is compacted centrally, or a combination of both.
Large Volumes of Diverse Waste
The variety of services provided by hotels and restaurants gives rise to large volumes of waste of different types, including a lot of bagged mixed waste that must be constantly and rapidly removed. Solid paper and plastic packaging, housekeeping waste and semi-wet waste must all be dealt with effectively.
Uneven Material Flow
The flow of waste is determined by such activities as mealtimes – breakfast, lunch and dinner – bar service, and guests leaving in the morning. Thus the uneven daily material is a key factor to consider when carrying out a waste handling audit.
Many System Users
Personnel working with different activities in a hotel, restaurant or fast food establishment are often involved with taking waste to a baler or compactor. Therefore these systems must be very easy to operate to allow different people to use them without difficulty.
Hygiene Is Crucial
A high standard of hygiene must be maintained wherever food is handled. This not only applies to those working in hotels and restaurants, but also to all machinery and equipment used within the premises.
Maximizing Profit
Whatever means are used to help sell products and services, and handle the resulting waste, they must contribute to maximizing overall profitability of an organization. Thus both the income from recyclable material and the reduction of fees for waste disposal must also be maximized.
The powerful forces used in waste compaction demand the use of very tough materials, durable components and dedicated system design – all of which are built into each Orwak system to achieve long product lifecycle and maximal uptime. High-performance systems combined with the most extensive range of products on the market make Orwak a natural partner for satisfying your waste handling needs.
