Plastic Free Holidays
Project management supporting hotels in Mallorca and Ibiza with plastic reduction.
The aim of the joint project is to reduce the amount of tourism-related plastic waste in the Balearic Islands and to improve the recycling process and rate.
​
Following a preliminary study pilot measures were developed and will be tested together with the participating hotels, representatives of the tour operators, local NGOs and Balearic waste management authorities. Specific programs to reduce plastic waste and improve recycling around ports will be developed in collaboration with cruise lines and ports.

The expert knowledge and competence in advising hotels on reducing single-use plastic that TWP has brought into our collaboration has been one of the biggest success factors in our joint project “Plastic-Free Holidays” on the Balearic Islands. Especially their practical viewpoint on how improvements can be made without compromising guest satisfaction or operative procedures in a hotel has been most valuable'.
