SAINT CHARLES, MO.—Pineapple Hospitality, a distributor of green hotel products and marketing programs for the hospitality industry, has partnered with CynerGreen to provide a “bottle free” solution for hotels and meeting planners looking to reduce their environmental impact and carbon footprint.
CynerGreen offers a complete line of hydration products and services including: adult and children’s reusable, stainless steel water bottles, HealthyTap natural portable water filters, reusable shopping bags, high volume hydration stations, and certification programs tailored to the hospitality and meetings industry. The company’s Bottle Free solutions pave the way for hotels, cities, communities, organizations, events and schools to eliminate bottled water from their environment.
CynerGreen is one of several companies that have recently partnered with Pineapple Hospitality. The others include EcoGreenHotel and Advance Laundry Solutions.
“We’re excited and proud to have developed strategic relationships with all of our new partners,” says Ray Burger, president of Pineapple Hospitality. “Particularly when the issue is as important as preserving our planet, there is strength in numbers. Growing the ranks of our Pineapple partners signifies the growing strength of the green hospitality movement.”
Two Companies Share Same Goals
“The partnership between CynerGreen and Pineapple brings together two companies completely focused on greening the hospitality industry,” says CynerGreen founder Danelle Hoffer. “It opens up new distribution channels, resources and combines the talents of dedicated hospitality professionals, all with like-minded goals of sustainable hospitality and tourism.”
Advance Laundry Solutions offers the latest solutions in laundry drying technology that is not only “green,” but actually saves money. This system is available in a 75 pound class dryer that is now being sold internationally to the hospitality, healthcare and fitness center markets.
Using patented heat pump technology, the AdvanceDry75 reduces energy consumption by up to 90 percent, requires no venting and extends textile life. By taking advantage of rental, leasing or financing options, the product will replace an existing conventional dryer and will create a positive
cash flow situation from the time that the machine is installed. In new construction, the AdvanceDry75 can go anywhere there is power and water and is significantly less costly to install.
“The AdvanceDry75 is perfect for hotels between 75 and 200 rooms that recognize the importance of saving money and energy at the same time,” says Brian Weinstein, managing partner for Advance Laundry Solutions. “Running three AdvanceDry75’s eight hours per day, a hotel will save thousands of dollars per year, reduce energy consumption by almost 2 billion Btus and reduce carbon emissions by more than 10 metric tons per year.”
Resort Installs Two Units
Weinstein says two AdvanceDry75 units were installed at a new resort in southern Georgia, eliminating the need for ducting, natural gas lines, make-up air or additional hot water capabilities in the laundry.
“The installed cost of our machines was not considerably more than that of conventional dryers and the AdvanceDry75 is saving the facility thousands of dollars per year,” Weinstein says. “The machines continue to run flawlessly and are drying the linen with a much softer hand.”
