Abstract

This chapter is a product of the principal author's extensive first-hand experience, gained during his tenure at both Jaypee Hotels & Resorts and Indian Hotel Company limited and co-author experience at Taj Hotels & Resorts and also their interactions with colleagues occupying the senior management role in various hotels. This chapter explores the transformative evolution of waste management practices within the hotel industry, highlighting the shift from conventional approaches to contemporary innovations. The study emphasizes the enduring impact of these evolving practices and identifies key strategies, including technology integration, zero-waste goals, supplier engagement, community involvement, continuous improvement, green procurement, waste-to-energy innovations, and guest engagement. By examining these facets, the chapter illustrates how hotels have not only reduced their environmental footprint but also set a benchmark for sustainable business practices.
