WASTE & CIRCULARITY
We understand the importance of a waste management approach that starts with a focus on reducing the generation of waste, and elevates circular economy principles where possible.

Our Approach
Hyatt provides its properties with guidance materials that focus on waste reduction, while also advancing diversion options such as recycling and composting, or identifying donation opportunities. Hyatt is particularly focused on preventing food waste and reducing single-use items.
Waste data tends to be more challenging to consistently measure, when compared to other types of environmental data at hotels. Due to the common data gaps across the industry, Hyatt, along with other leading hotel companies, collaborated with World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to publish the Hotel Waste Measurement Methodology to provide guidance for measuring and reporting data that would enable a consistent approach across the industry.
Reducing Food Waste
We are working toward a 2030 goal to reduce food waste per square meter by 50% compared to 2019 across managed hotels.
Reducing Single-Use Plastics
Hyatt is committed to reducing single-use plastics through various efforts across properties. For example, we are currently focused on transitioning to large-format bathroom amenities at properties across the globe. Additionally, we are working to increase hotels that make hydration stations available to guests. Several properties like Park Hyatt Hyderabad and Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula Papagayo even bottle water in reusable containers as a way to replace single-use bottled water.
