New hotel amenity line provides guests with luxury amenities in 100% biodegradable packaging |
Hotel guest amenities have never been greener. Pineapple Hospitality is proud to announce that the premier distributor of green products and marketing programs to the hospitality industry is offering a full line of eco Biodegradable Bottle Amenities.
eco Amenities is a line of luxury hotel soaps and toiletries designed for discerning and environmentally conscious hospitality properties and guests.
All eco liquids and soaps are made with minimal preservatives, all soaps are made using palm kernel oil and have a low fragrance and the minimal packaging is made from 60 to 90% post consumer, non-bleached board using soy based natural ink.
But what sets eco apart from anything else this industry has ever seen before is that it is one of the first hotel toiletry programs designed and manufactured using the latest in environmentally friendly packaging. The all-new eco bottles are made using a 100% biodegradable product called plastarch (PSM). Plastarch is a polymer that is derived primarily from corn, which is not only biodegradable, it is a renewable resource.
Hotel amenities can be extremely wasteful. The toiletries often use a lot of packaging for a small amount of product, and both product and packaging are tossed out at the end of each guest's stay. Biodegradable products and packaging allow guests to use a high-quality product and not feel guilty when the refuse is tossed into the trash.
'eco Biodegradable Bottles Amenities takes us a step closer to 100% sustainable hotel operations,' says Ray Burger, President of Pineapple Hospitality. 'Every day, millions of bottles of hotel amenities end up in the trash and are taken to landfills. eco Amenities makes sure that in a million years, those bottles won't still be sitting there.
'More and more people are embracing a green lifestyle, and they take their beliefs and practices with them when the travel. eco Amenities will set yourself apart from the competition from both an environmental standpoint and a luxury standpoint,' Burger adds.

Features of the revolutionary new eco Biodegradable Bottle Amenities include:
• PSM corn starch biodegradable bottles,
• Post consumer recycled boxes,

The look and feel of each of the eco products will fit in any hotel environment and will give guests a true impression of class and luxury.
'The environmentally friendly packaging would be an afterthought if the products themselves didn't live up to the quality standards guests expect from their amenities,' Burger says. 'Guest aren't willing to compromise on quality in order to go green, especially when they are out on the road. Performance is key. That's where eco Amenities excels: merging being green with luxury-spa-grade function.'
