of monitoring their supply chains and environmental\u00a0programme to make sure of sustainable use of\u00a0natural resources\u201d, says Cathrine Dehli, the Head of\u00a0Sustainability of Nordic Choice Hotels. The hotel chain\u00a0has three textile suppliers, two in Sweden and one in

\u201cWe are aware of the challenges in the field and have,\u00a0with our suppliers, been analysing the sustainability\u00a0chain of our textiles covering cotton growing,\u00a0manufacturing, sewing, dying, transportation, use\u00a0in the hotels as well as maintenance in the laundries
and disposal of textiles out of use\u201d, explains Cathrine\u00a0of the work done lately. Also the mixture of bed linen\u00a0by adding polyester and reducing cotton has been\u00a0under consideration. It would make the linen more\u00a0sustainable, but also affects the look and feel of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cathrine wants to emphasize that sustainability is a\u00a0chain of considered actions. \u201cOur customers need to\u00a0leave textiles they don\u2019t want to be washed to racks,\u00a0we have to leave textiles in racks to rooms and consider\u00a0our own use of textiles. Our suppliers have to use\u00a0the nature resources sustainably, wash and dry with\u00a0as less energy and water as possible, and minimize\u00a0the transportations. We don\u00b4t require that everything\u00a0is perfect but the attitude has to be open, and going\u00a0forward\u201d, Cathrine sums up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
