Ramada Ajman achieves 90% waste reduction target

Ramada Hotel & Suites Ajman have managed to recycle more than 90% of the hotel's waste as part of its Zero Landfill initiative.

The initiative, organised in collaboration with AIMS Group and Green Mountain Waste Management was launched last year as part of the hotel’s environmental conservation efforts.

Based on a waste composition analysis at the hotel, it was observed that a major portion of the property’s waste is organic and food related, which could be used as compost; paper plastic and metals are recycled, following which, a minimal portion of the waste is rejected and goes to the landfill.

Through these measures, the hotel is able to achieve more than 90% waste diversion from the landfill.

The hotels efforts were commended by the Dubai Municipality during a recent visit to the property, during which the team demonstrated how the compost machine reduces between 800 to 100kg of the hotel’s daily waste.

Ramada Hotel & Suites Ajman general manager Iftikhar Hamdani said: “We are very pleased with the commendation given by the Dubai Municipality for our Zero Landfill project. We thank them for this visit, which only shows that the public has started to recognise our environmentally friendly programs that benefit both our property and our country.”
