Solid Waste in Hotel Industry
Disposable toiletries provided by hotels for guests' convenience and as a symbol of their stay are exacerbating environmental problems. Single-use plastic items typically do not end up in landfills or are recycled. 32% of the 7-8 million tons of plastic packaging produced each year ends up in the ocean.

Abundance of Waste
Paper is widely used in daily life. Converting it into materials with more properties can reduce dependence on natural resources.
Degradability of Paper
By converting paper waste into biomaterials, the risk of long-term pollution can be reduced by replacing other materials.
Mature Technology
Paper recycling technology are relatively mature, which provides a foundation for the early stage of the project.
