Mumbai, Sept 20: India’s first CII IGBC Platinum Rated and Net Zero Energy hotel – Jakson Inns Phaltan has announced its latest endeavour of transitioning to becoming India’s pioneer Net Zero Waste hotel. In a significant step towards environmental sustainability, the hotel has successfully implemented a comprehensive waste management program, segregating waste into nine separate categories to minimize its ecological footprint. With a resolute commitment to preserving the environment and mitigating waste generation, Jakson Inns Phaltan has introduced an innovative waste segregation system. The process involves categorizing waste into distinct silos, ensuring that each type of waste is managed optimally and sustainably.

“The primary objective is to channel wet waste directly into the hotel’s biogas plant or vermicomposting pit, where it can be converted into valuable resources. Simultaneously, all other types of waste will be responsibly dispatched to credible external recycling plants, minimizing landfill waste. Recognizing the importance of reducing waste at its source, we are collaborating closely with our vendors to adopt eco-friendly and sustainable packaging solutions. By taking proactive measures to source products with minimal packaging or recyclable materials, Jakson Inns Phaltan aims to reduce waste generation right from the procurement stage,” says Mr Sandeep Talaulicar, MD, Jakson Hospitality.

In addition to these initiatives, the hotel is committed to educating its employees and guests on responsible waste management practices.

“Utilizing eco-friendly construction methods, our hotel has achieved impressive outcomes. Our monthly electricity expenses have plummeted from Rs.9 lakhs to a mere Rs.1 lakh, illustrating substantial cost reductions. Moreover, despite operating in a region with limited water resources, we are pleased to announce that we have become self-sufficient in water supply. This serves as a testament to the fact that sustainable construction techniques, while demanding initial investments, yield significant and enduring financial benefits. The latest attempt is just another step in this direction. Our aim is to foster a culture of eco-consciousness among our staff and visitors, encouraging them to be active participants in the mission to protect and preserve our planet,”
