Concept Amenities President of Sales tapped to Speak at Environmental Plastics Solutions Conference.
Melbourne, AU August 30th 2010 – Concept Amenities announced today that Gary Coward, will be a speaker and presenter at the Environmental Plastics Solutions Conference, September 20th - 21st, 2010 at the St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort in Dana Point, California.
The two-day conference, fused with renowned speakers; technology innovators and men of science, will explore the latest developments in plastics sustainability, biodegradation testing, international demand and competition, legislation, developments in biodigestors and plastics of the future.
President of Sales, and company co-founder at Concept Amenities, Coward will represent the manufacturing sector of the hospitality industry, long considered a sizeable contributor to landfill waste. As a leading supplier of hotel toiletries Coward plans to address the problems caused by 3.5 billion plastic hotel amenity bottles accumulating in landfill each year from the USA alone and discuss Concept Amenities environmental solutions.
“Companies everywhere are coming to the realization that if they aren’t part of the environmental solution, then they’re part of the problem”, says Coward. “We’re now manufacturing our guest amenities with Eco Pure®, an organic based additive that allows plastic to biodegrade in landfill in a few years”.
Coward goes on to explain that in their search for Eco Pure, the darling of plastic biodegradability, Concept Amenities considered compostable packaging but quickly found there were few industrial composting facilities who would accept PLA and PSM materials and most were located in California; not a good solution for East Coast hotels whose bottom line would be significantly affected by disposal costs alone.
“Our company mandate is to continually research and develop the greenest hotel amenities available today and tomorrow”, concludes Coward. “We’ve recently implemented a program that encourages employees to green their personal lives with rewards for the best suggestions and implementation. Caring about the future of our planet is a mindset. It’s not enough to talk the talk; you have walk the walk—everyday in every way”.
