If you were lucky enough to attend the workshop last Thursday
you donrsquot need me to tell you it was a great success Much was
learnt and it was most informative to see what happens to hotel
waste after it leaves a hotelrsquos care Do you labour under the
impression everything is just dandy Well herersquos what
happened
Veoliarsquos Southwark Integrated Waste Management Facility
(IWMF) hosted the VeoliaCH Workshop on ldquoWaste
Management Strategies For Hoteliersrdquo The event was a proof
to the fact that the hospitality business is proactive considerate
and open for industry collaboration
Veoliarsquos team of professionals gave the participants an insight to
Food Waste Technology whereas Considerate Hoteliers focused
the lens to the tools needed to build a waste strategy and best
practices Clare Wright Director of Procurement Environment
and Sustainability for the Lancaster London a Considerate
Hotelier Award Winner delivered yet another brilliant presentation
and guided the participants through the long-term sustainability
journey of the hotel A very intriguing part of the half-day event
was the Southwark IWMF tour It allowed the attendees to
observe mechanical and biological treatment of waste and
witness how Veolia meet their objective ldquoCapture any recyclables
in the residual waste and produce secondary fuels which can
replace wood and coalrdquo No doubt the workshop was a success
The good news - it was just the first of many to come All the
presentations from the day have been uploaded onto our website
in the Members Area under CH Talks Stay tuned
Can Small Really Be Beautiful
Imagine sleeping inside a sculpture right in the heart of a busy
city square Naturally said sculpture would have an inviting
interior and come with an entrance bedroom and bathroom
Sounds like heaven ndash or a far-fetched dream Recently
Portuguese sculptor and industrial designer Gabriela Gomes
created all this and more with her experimental housing project
Shelter ByGG
A cross between architecture design and sculpture the bright
red object resembles a sculpture at first glance but closer
inspection reveals it to be a bona fide living space Built from non-
polluting recycled materials and drawing energy from attached
solar panels the self-contained sustainable unit can be installed

pretty much anywhere
Like a tiny travelling cocoon Shelter ByGG treats visitors to an
innovative and unexpected take on everyday accommodation and
questions the prevalent and accepted dichotomy of public and
private or interior and exterior
News From The Shires
The Alexandra Hotel in Lyme Regis suggests that life outside
the metropolitan areas is far from mundane when it comes to
being considerate Tom McGuire of The Alexandra Hotel relates
Our electric car charging station has proven popular with people
passing through Lyme and staying We also have an active
vegetable garden thanks to our gardener Richard which supplies a
lot of our fresh fruit vegetables and green salads This saves on
packaging and transport from suppliers Our guests are
encouraged to recycle their rubbish items and often hand items
into reception or housekeeping to be recycled We get good
feedback and ideas from our guests on how to maintain our green
footprint or improve it through guest feedback forms on departure
The obvious light sensors that switch on when guests walk past
and eco water systems for controlling water for flushing toilets all
add an interest factor and are noticed and commented on
The Winds Appears To Blow Hardest In The Far East
We have all been devastated by the appalling damage and loss of
life that has happened in the Philippines The cry inevitably goes
up ndash climate changeglobal warming Research shows that
cyclonic activity has not changed much in living memory and
there would appear to be no worse storms now than in times gone
by What is certain is that as the seas have warmed up water
levels have risen so therefore the waves are bigger and more
damaging as a result There is a need to build stronger
infrastructure and buildings ones that can withstand what nature
chooses to throw at us The storms will continue to blow but we
can lessen their impact by creating richer economies who can in
turn build stronger foundations to their buildings and their
communities Itrsquos a long journey and in the meantime we must do
what we can to help the people of the Philippines
