CAMBRIDGE, ONT.—Langdon Hall Country House, Hotel & Spa and The Keep Refillery announced a first-of-its-kind partnership to launch the premiere hotel refillery in Ontario. Langdon Hall, a Relais & Chateaux property known for being one of Canada’s most pre-eminent luxury hotels, is tapping into the expertise of The Keep Refillery, a one-stop plastic-free refillery, to overhaul its in-room amenities and move towards an even more sustainable and low-waste system.
By transitioning to a sustainable and circular refilling program for all in-room amenities, Langdon Hall and The Keep will save over 2,000 plastic bottles from finding their way into landfills and waterways this year. Refilling stations will be the source for housekeeping staff to refill all the in-room essentials such as shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion, shower steams and bath bombs, all without creating any waste.
“Globally, every year, the hotel industry produces an average of 289,700 tons of waste,” said Jacquie Rushlow, founder of The Keep Refillery. “Langdon Hall is an innovative hotel and a leader in the hospitality industry. With this latest move to become the first hotel in Ontario to have an in-house refillery they are taking meaningful action to reduce the property’s waste footprint.”
“Our clientele are smart and worldly people who want a luxury hotel experience without feeling like their impact is detrimental to the health of the environment. Langdon Hall recognizes that to remain at the forefront of sustainable hospitality, we need to constantly move toward offerings that are both luxurious and ecologically sound,” said Jennifer Houghton, Director of Langdon Hall Country House, Hotel & Spa. “We’ve done this with our kitchen, and now, with the help and knowledge of The Keep Refillery, we were able to seamlessly convert to a system that meets these criteria. This has resulted in a low-waste, highly elevated guest amenity experience. We know our guests will enjoy the products, and we hope to inspire other hotels to move in a similar direction.”
All products that Langdon Hall will stock from The Keep Refillery will meet Langdon Halls’ high standards while also being sustainably sourced from small businesses across Canada and the United States and are all-natural, cruelty-free, and ethically made. Like all products in store at The Keep Refillery, everything is thoroughly researched and tested to ensure they’re highly effective and the brand is closed-loop sustainable.
