The Green Plan for Hotels is an initiative from the North Carolina Division of Pollution Prevention and Environmental Assistance to hospitality and lodging properties throughout North Carolina. The initiative targets waste reduction, recycling, energy and water conservation — all of which are good for business!

Services DPPEA provides to help with these efforts include…

	Water Conservation Web site with a range of ideas and resources for saving water
	Free, onsite assessments to identify waste reduction, recycling, energy and water efficiency opportunities.
	Educational/training materials to hotel staff about the hospitality industry waste reduction program.
	Assistance with locating recycling markets for materials collected at the property as well as providing local contact information for county/city recycling coordinators and water conservation specialists.
	Resources for water and energy efficiency programs. Our Waste Reduction Resource Center can provide additional information about these programs.
	Examples of hoteliers that have implemented environmentally conscious programs which have saved money and increased guest satisfaction.
