Do Just One Thing
More than 30 million plastic hotel key cards are manufactured every year for guests. While some are returned to the front desk and reused, the majority end up in the trash. Made from PVC plastic, these cards are not biodegradable, and they’re often unreliable when it’s time to open your door. Today, nearly every major hotel brand offers digital room keys via a smartphone app, eliminating the need for plastic cards altogether. Guests simply check in on their phone and unlock their door with a tap. It’s a small but meaningful way technology is helping hotels reduce waste while making travel more seamless.
