Royalton Luxury Resorts is adopting two new waste-reduction initiatives to strengthen its commitment to environmental sustainability.

Effective Oct. 1, all Royalton Resorts, Hideaway at Royalton and CHIC by Royalton hotels will have phased out single-use straws and significantly reduced plastic bottle waste with the roll out of a new eco-friendly water filtration system across bar and restaurant facilities in partnership with Vero Water.

The effects of plastic on marine life are devastating and every year millions of straws end up in our oceans.

In partnership with OneLink Global, an organization that provides efficient, reliable, sustainable and eco- friendly solutions, Royalton Luxury Resorts has incorporated the innovative Vero Water technology into the total guest experience at resort bars and restaurants.

The Vero Water purification system removes impurities, chemicals and imperfections in water while leaving a clean signature taste, regardless of the destination. At the end of purification, the water is perfectly chilled and delivered still or sparkling to a signature, reusable one litre glass bottle in a matter of seconds, eliminating an estimated 2,149,844 plastic water bottles.
