Plastic, can we still do without it?

More plastic has been produced in the last decade than in the entire 20th century, and about half of all plastic produced is single-use and immediately thrown away. Boutique hotel Lytel Blue investigated whether it was possible to create a plastic-free room.

Plastic is not only found as packaging material or utensils. It is everywhere: nanoplastics and microplastics are found in our food, tap water, bottled water and in the air you breathe. This comes, for example, from microfibres of synthetic clothing or from tiny particles of worn car tyres.

It is not only humans but also more than 1,400 animal species that are affected by our use of plastic, as they become entangled in it or mistake it for food.

As a hotel, we would like to do our bit for a healthy earth, so that generations to come can also enjoy the beauty of nature, animals and our society. As a hotel, we strive to leave no negative impact on the globe. Did you know that you too can contribute to this when you come and stay with us?

One of Lytel Blue’s projects involves research into a low-plastic hotel room. This has resulted in the Special Blue Room.
