If you’ve stayed in a hotel, you’ve probably seen bottled water placed in the room as part of the guest experience. It seems simple: guests drink the water, the bottles are thrown away, and housekeeping replaces them the next day. But behind this convenience is a costly and wasteful system involving purchasing, delivery, storage, manpower, disposal, and a continuous stream of single-use plastic.
BACFREE believes hotels are ready for a smarter and more sustainable way forward. Through its EcoTap direct drinking solution, BACFREE helps hotels reduce reliance on plastic bottled water while cutting down long-term operational costs linked to procurement, logistics, storage, and waste management.
In this conversation, we speak to Dr Chee Chung Yee, Technical Director of BACFREE, about how the company is helping the hospitality industry move away from single-use plastic bottles and adopt a cleaner, more efficient in-room drinking water solution.
