(888)229-0213 Ext.801 For the first time, the
hospitality industry now has a reliable marketplace for their green supply
needs. Through EcoGreenHotel Store, properties can purchase everything from
environmentally sensitive amenities, earth-friendly cleaning supplies and
sustainable furniture to biodegradable key cards and marketing services
designed specifically for the green hotel industry. Scott Parisi, President of
EcoGreenHotel, states, “Over and over again, environmentally conscious hotel
professionals have told us they wished they could simplify things and purchase
their green supplies from one location…and so we set out to create the most
comprehensive online source for environmentally friendly hospitality goods and
services in the industry.” EcoGreenHotel Store is a green marketplace that: § Provides one-stop shopping § Enables easy access to quality green
products and services from numerous vendors § Offers comparable and competitive
pricing § Offers environmentally preferable
products that are not “greenwashing” § Allows hotels to minimize costs
associated with labor and time-intensive effort required for researching, identifying,
testing and acquiring § Allows hotels to reach guests who
are concerned about their environmental impact § Offers additional product search
support for hotels seeking “hard-to-find” green alternatives and product reviews § Contributes to the goal of “People,
Planet, and Profits” For the past year, Parisi
has collaborated with veteran specialty suppliers including Pineapple
Hospitality, DeBlauw
Purchasing, T2 Site
Amenities, and Ecotek to assemble cost-effective eco hotel products available
on the web. His vision for the store is
simple: “We want the EcoGreenHotel
Store to be the go-to source for quality, affordable eco hotel products and services.” A few
benefits of Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP): § Reduce waste and utility costs § Attract environmentally conscious
customers § Possible new revenue streams § Improve image: brand and goodwill § Responsive to employee and guests health
and wellness needs § Economically responsible hospitality
supply buying § Increase stakeholder value § Minimize environmental footprint The EcoGreenHotel Store’s
virtual shelves are stocked with products and services from dozens of
companies, including: § Azul Conservation Products, home of cool tools designed to preserve precious water resources. § Hanger
Network, creator of the EcoHanger, the
ultimate sustainable multi-tasker. § Swisssol-USA Creative Body Care, maker of incredible natural body care products and dispenser systems. § Hospitality
v-Marketing, the place to go for multi-media content, photography, videography and
graphic design for eco hotels. § Luxur-Eco,
wholesaler of lavish environmentally-conscious items for the hotel bed and
bath. EcoGreenHotel has partnered
with Ray Burgur, President of Pineapple Hospitality, which is a superior
distribution and marketing company dedicated to providing innovative products
and services to the lodging industry. Pineapple is
currently the largest supplier of eco amenities, cleaning products, and other merchandise
being offered on the site. “Pineapple has played a major role in
identifying relationships with additional suppliers that will be offering
products on the site,” Parisi said. “And for advance planning and sourcing of FF&E
(furniture, fixtures, and equipment) for renovations, PIP’s (product
improvement plans) mandated by brands, and supplies for new-build hotels,
services provided by DeBlauw will assist hotels of any size .So the
EcoGreenHotel Store’s offerings cover the entire scope of the industry.” EcoGreenHotelStore.com
brings all of those products together in one place, making it easy for hotel
owners and managers to make the right choices as we move toward a more sustainable
AND more profitable future for the hospitality industry. Parisi continues to seek sustainable
products to add to the merchandise lineup at the EcoGreenHotel Store. Potential vendors are asked to contact him
