Xeros Technology Group plc wins hotel contract
Annie Kane | 26 September 2014

Xeros Technology Group plc, developers of a resource-efficient polymer bead cleaning system , has announced that following its latest cleaning system contract win, it now counts four out of the world’s top five hotel groups (IHG, Hilton, Marriott, Wyndham and Choice) as customers.

The system, which works to reduce water usage in cleaning costs by replacing water with polymer beads, can reportedly save laundry customers up to 75 per cent of the water, up to 50 per cent of the energy (used to heat water in the washing machine), and up to 50 per cent of the detergent compared to conventional, aqueous washing machines.

As a result, Xeros cleaning systems are now installed, or contracted to be installed, at sites with four hotel groups in the USA, 'a priority market for Xeros given the increasing scarcity and cost of water in many states'. Single or multiple cleaning systems will be in operation with these customers and handling daily demand in busy hotel laundries.

Xeros CEO Bill Westwater, commented: “Four of the world’s top five hotel groups have now agreed to use Xeros cleaning systems in the USA and we are actively contributing to their achievement of their CSR goals in relation to sustainability. We've demonstrated how Xeros technology can bring lasting and meaningful benefits by way of superior cleaning, water and energy reductions and enhanced service through the commercial use of our technology for laundry.

“We are highly encouraged by the early adoption of our cleaning systems by these important customers and we look forward to working with them going forwards.”

How will the government and DMOs address the challenges of including glass in DRS while ensuring a level playing field across the UK?

There's no easy solution to include glass in the DRS while maintaining a level playing field. Potential approaches include a phased introduction of glass, potentially with higher deposits to reflect its logistical challenges. The government and DMOs could incentivise innovation in glass packaging design and subsidise dedicated return points for glass-handling. Exemptions for smaller businesses unable to handle glass might also be necessary. Any successful solution will likely blend several approaches. It must address the differing priorities of devolved administrations, balance environmental benefits with logistical and cost implications, and be supported by robust consumer education campaigns emphasizing the importance of glass recycling.
