Hospitality businesses continue to accelerate their commercial focus on sustainability and the importance of protecting our planet, and hotels are central in this.
Hotels are now uniquely positioned to make further positive impact on the environment and 3SIXTY was created to help them achieve exactly that.
3SIXTY’s mission is to help the hospitality industry become more sustainable. The company creates environmentally friendly bedroom and bathroom textiles that are not only sustainable and socially responsible, but also made to the exceptional standards that guests expect.
The company has now begun a collaboration with SEAQUAL; the organization which helps to clean the world’s oceans by upcycling plastic marine waste into beautiful, new everyday products, one of those products is the innovative SEAQUAL FIBER.
3SIXTY have decided to exclusively use SEAQUAL FIBER in their Eco-Ocean range of towels, bathrobes, bed linen, duvets and pillows.
A growing network of fishermen working off the European Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts, retrieve waste from the seabed and bring it back to port from where it is collected and delivered to specialist centres. The waste is then sorted, cleaned and processed before being up-cycled into SEAQUAL FIBER.
3SIXTY then mixes and weaves this yarn with cotton to produce products that look, feel and perform just like other hospitality products- proving the adage ‘one man’s trash is another man’s treasure’.
3SIXTY’S Colm Walsh explained to H&C News:
“Overuse of single use plastics, in all forms, is a problem that needs to be tackled. We want to help the hospitality industry make a positive impact on this global problem.
“A hotel with a hundred rooms, using Eco-Ocean by 3SIXTY products, made using SEAQUAL™ FIBER, could help take 1.6 metric tonnes of waste from the ocean. We strongly believe this is an exceptional opportunity for the hospitality industry to make a difference.”
