Sustainability
Titanic Hotel Liverpool is committed to working in a sustainable way to help protect the environment through reducing waste, saving energy and water usage. We operate by a zero waste to landfill policy with a dedicated sustainable waste management system in place within the hotel and event spaces.
Recycling & Food WasteWe recycle waste where possible across all areas of the hotel from glass to cardboard. We use recyclable cups and straws within the hotel restaurant and bar.
Our food waste is collected twice a week and recycled. We have been working together with B&M Waste to
achieve Zero-Waste-to-Landfill status. Below are our waste management achievements for 2024:
📊
Total Waste Diverted from Landfill: We’re proud to have diverted 100% of our total waste from landfill, ensuring that more materials are being recycled, reused, or composted. Any waste that is non-recyclable is processed as ‘Refuse Derived Fuel’ otherwise known as ‘Waste to Energy’, where it is incinerated to produce electricity for the National Grid. 23% of all waste collected went through this process.
♻️
Recycling Rate: In 2024, 65% of the waste we generate is being recycled, helping reduce our environmental footprint and promoting circular economy practices.
🍃
Food Waste Reduction:In 2024 39.7 tonnes of food waste was collected this was an additional 8 tonnes based on the previous year. This is a positive effect as all food waste sent to Anaerobic Digestion to produce electricity and high quality compost slurry.
70% of our waste by weight is glass. Whilst all our glass waste is 100% recycled, we recognise the importance of reducing preventable waste. So, in response to this, we’ve introduced
refillable glass bottles and
water stations in our bars and restaurant, with plans to expand into guest rooms and conference spaces very soon.
Plastic WasteWe have started looking at reducing as much plastic as possible within the hotel starting with removing plastic straws and bags.
We have switched to
eco-friendly bamboo pens in our hotel spaces which use:
🖊️
Eco-Conscious Materials: The pen’s bamboo barrel is biodegradable, offering a more sustainable alternative to traditional plastic, while the recyclable ABS plastic trim is 100% recyclable and can be melted and reshaped time and again, without losing quality.
♻️
100% Recyclable Components: As well as ABS the pens also use a small amount of TPR (thermoplastic rubber), which is fully recyclable, to ensure that every part of the pen can have a new life after use.
Sourcing LocallyWe strive to work with local suppliers and businesses as much as possible. We're proud to support the local economy by working with local suppliers to source as many of our ingredients and food as possible, and we support relationships with local companies for many hotel requirements, including window cleaning, maintenance needs, carpet and upholstery cleaning, printing and stationary supplies.
Electric Car ChargingWe have installed 5 electric car charging points at the hotel.
Working PracticesWe aim to work digitally as much as possible to reduce paper waste. All the hotel brochures are now digital. We have reduced the amount of printed material we have in our guest bedrooms using the interactive TV’s we have in all rooms to display hotel information and the room service menu.
Menus in Rum Bar and Stanley’s Bar & Grill are fully recyclable as all menu paper and boards we use are FSC certified.
Choosing FSC-certified products helps support responsible forest management and ensures that the materials we use contribute to a healthier planet.
• 🌳 FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification ensures that the paper comes from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits.
• 🌱 FSC-certified forests protect wildlife habitats, support indigenous communities, and maintain biodiversity.
• ♻️ Using FSC paper helps reduce deforestation and promotes sustainable forest growth!
Local areaWe are committed to keeping the surrounding area environmentally clean and hire a specially made boat to do weekly clean-ups in Stanley Dock.
Initiatives for 2025• Community Projects: develop relationships with our neighbours, providing support and giving back to the community with initiatives including providing to local food banks, staff littler picking, working with the local school on biodiversity projects and providing event space for local community projects.
• Carbon Footprint Management: looking at an effective carbon management program to reduce the overall carbon emissions, monitoring the energy consumption and identifying anomalies and areas of improvement, and looking at renewable energy sources. We are connecting to district heat to run our boilers more efficiently.
• DMR New Legislation: ensuring we are fully compliant by 31 March which will include new mini recycling centre on site, staff training etc.
