Tackling the sludge 

The treating of wastewater onsite in shopping malls could significantly reduce the water bill and bring other environmental benefits, such as water recycling and wastewater minimisation.

Major shopping malls, with dozens of restaurants in the food court and thousands of daily meals to prepare, are facing more and more wastewater compliance issues. Treating discharge properly is also important as it can lead to bad odours coming from grease traps which can put off potential customers.

Lessons learned in sustainablility

Guests sort, hotel earns

• Equipping hotel rooms with recycling bins reduces overall hotel waste by 40 %
• Savings carry over to associated waste-management costs too 

Statistically, the average hotel guest throws away about two kilograms of waste - paper, plastic, cardboard and cans - every day. The same guest would more than likely recycle all that at home.
