AirOWater technology generates fresh drinking
As highlighted in the report, AirOWater’s Atmospheric Water Generators ("AWG") aim to target the global shortage of clean drinking water and replace plastic by providing an innovative and sustainable solution to meet the increasing demand for fresh drinking water.
The First Group of Hotels to Eliminate 400,000 Plastic Waste Containers
Raja Zeidan, Multi-Property General Manager of Delta Hotels by Marriott, Dubai Investment Park, and The St. Regis Downtown Dubai, commented, "We are delighted to work with AirOWater and move towards a more sustainable operation in the hotel."
"We've put the system into place at the Delta Hotels by Marriott in Dubai Investment Park, and so far we're very happy with how things are going.All of us in hospitality need to focus more on sustainability and look for solutions together to eliminate plastic bottles from our properties.
"The consideration of how we use water and the containers in which water is stored is a good starting point; however, we plan to invest a lot of time and energy into sustainable initiatives for the future of our hotels."
According to the report, Delta Hotels by Marriott creates a seamless travel experience across 100 locations globally and focuses on the details that truly matter, delivering simple, streamlined service and intuitively designed rooms.
The hotel’s collaboration with AirOWater is in line with the brand's commitment to sustainability and Delta’s brand pillar of free bottled water for all guests. Delta Hotels by Marriott, Dubai Investment Park, will be the first Marriott International property in the Middle East to work with AirOWater.
The hotel currently has two AirOWater AWGs, which produce a range of 500 to 1000 litres of water in one day, enough to cover all the property's drinking water requirements, it added.
All 246 guestrooms, restaurants, meeting facilities, spas, and gyms feature refrigerators that are stocked with filtered AirOWater glass bottles.
The hotel is completely plastic-free in terms of water bottles, with no plastic water bottles used in any public or staff areas, including back-of-house offices, as mentioned in the report.
When compared to desalination or typical RO water treatment systems, every 1000 litres of AWG installed saves the hotel approximately 11,000 kg of plastic and further reduces its carbon footprint.
