From April 2025, new Simpler Recycling regulations will come into effect across England, changing how businesses—including hotels and hospitality providers—manage waste. Designed to create a consistent and efficient recycling system, these changes will ensure that all businesses separate recyclable materials into designated streams, reducing waste contamination and increasing recycling rates.
Under Simpler Recycling, hotels will be required to separate waste into six key categories:
These rules apply across all businesses, meaning that hotels must implement clear recycling systems in guest rooms, public areas, and staff facilities.
For hotels, compliance means ensuring clear and accessible recycling solutions for both guests and staff. Housekeeping teams will need systems that simplify waste collection, while front-of-house areas must provide easy-to-use options for guests.
Failing to comply with the regulations could lead to penalties, making early preparation essential.
To help hotels stay ahead of the new regulations, Decotel offers a 3-insert recycling bin designed for guest rooms. Featuring colour-coded removable inserts, this stylish and practical bin makes waste separation effortless. With a compact, durable design and easy-to-clean inserts with handles, it ensures compliance without compromising aesthetics.
For added convenience, recycling stickers are available to clearly label waste streams, helping guests and staff sort waste correctly.
With Simpler Recycling coming soon, now is the time to update your waste management strategy. Ensure compliance, improve sustainability, and enhance guest experience with Decotel’s recycling solutions.
