Wyndham Announces “Green” Uniforms
Wyndham Hotels and Results announced the introduction of their new environmentally friendly uniforms for hotel staff today as part of its ongoing and evolving “green” strategy.
The uniforms are made from recycled polyester fibers spun from plastic beverage bottles. Select Wyndham Hotels will be introducing the uniform this fall, expanding by job category until everyone is with their own environmentally-friendly outfit. By 2010 all front and back-of-house staff will be sporting the new uniforms.
The uniforms do not require a professional laundering, and minimize the use of chemicals during cleaning. In the end, it’s money saved in operations for the hotel chain.
“As part of our quest to find new and innovative green practices, we challenged Cintas to design a program that reflected our three Wyndham brand-defining pillars of innovation, personalization and flexibility,” said Faith Taylor, Wyndham Worldwide vice president of sustainability and innovation. “Cintas answered the call by selecting trendy, eco-conscious garments that are machine washable, easily modified and mixed-and-matched for a more personal look.”
