SPECIAL APARTMENTS

To continue in our quest to go green and to harm the planet the least bit possible, we are trying to find an ecolo-friendly printer in the Paris area. We have to print business cards, compliments cards and have also a project to print a series of postcards that we will give to our guests when they arrive.

Today we had a meeting with the first of these called ‘impression durable’. We will wait for there feedback. We are also considering working with ‘gecys’ and a few others. I’ll keep you posted.

We’re looking at ways to go green at the moment. As a company, we feel that it is important to do our bit to make our ecological footprint as small as possible. All of our apartments are equipped with our own white bed linens and towels, and the traditional products that are needed to keep them white are very polluting.

The first thing we’ve decided to do is to look for green cleaning products, that are effective and non-polluting.

By looking on the website run by the European Ecolabel I came across a belgian company called Christeyns who manufacture environmentally-friendly detergents and have developped sytems to economize water, with dosage systems to make sure that the correct quantities of detergents are used, whilst giving good results.

On Friday Regis and I have a meeting with the representative of the company and their Paris distributor to discuss the options that we could use.

Hopefully this small step will be the first on the long road to becoming more responsable for our environment. I’ll keep you posted on any new developments!
