SUSTAINABILITY

The 4* Limerick Strand Hotel recognises that our business has an important role to play in protecting and enhancing the environment for future generations and to help secure the long-term sustainability of the tourism industry. It is our priority to encourage our customers, suppliers and all business associates to do the same.

The Limerick Strand Hotel is committed to reducing its environmental impact through better efficiencies in the use of energy and the minimisation of waste, packaging and water usage.

ACCREDITATION

We are thrilled announce that due to our continued efforts we have been awarded the prestigious Silver Green Tourism Award by Green Tourism Ireland and Eco-Label Award by Green Hospitality Ireland. These recognitions are a testament to our hotel’s unwavering commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.

RECYCLING

The hotel has a waste diversion rate of 80% from landfill. Each guest bedroom has recycling cards and bins, that encourage and show guests how to recycle in their bedrooms.

Environment-friendly cards in our bedrooms give guests the option to re-use towels and bed linen by following simple steps. The hotel uses compostable take away cups, lids and bio-degradable straws and coasters. Used kitchen oil is sent to a biodiesel plant for recycling and all packaging used to transport food produce is recycled or reused by our suppliers. All wax candle scraps are collected by our staff and passed to a local small producer who recycles these into hand-pored candles.

ENERGY CONSUMPTION

Electricity, Gas and Water meters have been fitted in the hotel, to assist in monitoring and driving down energy consumption. We have an Energy Action Plan in place based on continuous improvement, energy conservation practices are embedded in our Standard Operating Procedures.

The hotel uses LED lighting throughout the premises and uses sensor lighting, in meeting rooms, stairwells and back of house. We use timers for heating, air conditioning and to switch off electrical equipment that is not in use all the time, which helps us to save energy and reduce our carbon footprint.

ELECTRIC CAR CHARGERS

EV Charging stations are available in the onsite car park provided by Easy Go.  Installation of the EV charging stations aligns with our aim to reduce the hotel’s carbon footprint, and we will add additional charging stations to the car park in 2024. To use the stations, simply download the app in the link above and sign up to Easy Go.
