Eaton Hong Kong has invested in a new water purification system, putting an end to the use of plastic bottles at the hotel.
The HK$500,000 (US$64,500) ‘Classic Crystal Tropical Purification System’ features a seven-stage filter and purification process that uses ultra-violet lights to destroy any micro-organisms in the water, ensuring it is free from harmful bacteria.
After all the purification and filtration processes, the water will be bottled in recyclable glass bottles – half as still water and half sparkling.
“HK$500,000 might seem like a huge amount of money to spend… but that amount will be covered over the first two years of us using the system as we are no longer having to buy hundreds of plastic bottles every month,” explained the hotel’s environmental officer, Katrina Cheng.
“Even then, it is a cheque we are happy to write as it clearly demonstrates our firm belief in the importance of these initiatives.”
The hotel will also label the glass bottles with the “best before” dates, and used bottles will be collected and washed before being reused.
