Local and seasonal buying

• Priority will be given to products from the local market (on a regional and state level) provided that they meet the requirements and basic needs of the hotels.
• The important factor of product transportation should always be considered, from the point of view of air pollution and fuel consumption (nonrenewable resources) together with the support of the local economy.

Electrical devices

• Regarding the purchase of equipment, priority is given to electrical machinery that consumes less water, energy (Energy star system label preference to A & A plus appliances) and do not contain forbidden CFC’s.
• When buying new lamps and lights or for the replacement of lamps priority should be given to LED or other efficient bulbs.

Packaging

• Preference is given, wherever possible, to the purchase of products in bulk and re-useable or returnable packages.
• Single–use and disposable items are to be avoided and, wherever their use is necessary, biodegradable products are preferred.

Recyclable products

• Priority should be given to recyclable products as well as those from recycled materials without excessive multiple packaging (the more complex a product is, the more natural resources are used in its production and the more waste is disposed of into the environment).

Cleaning agents

• Cleaning agents according to the following specifications:
• They must have a registration number of the National Chemical Laboratory (Compliance with the legal requirements of Regulation EC / 648/2004 on the biodegradability of surfactants components, 60% primary biodegradability, allergenic perfume ingredients, colors, labels etc)
• Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) developed and tested under recent legislation REACH which is valid from 2007.
• All disinfectants have EOF authorization under Regulation EC / 528/2012
• Priority is given to the use of concentrated product through automatic dosing systems (easiest handling and storage, less waste, better results)

Information of suppliers
