Reduction of plastic use in guest room amenities
At WHG Hotels, we provide toothbrushes that are made of rice husk biomass material in our guest rooms. The material for the handle contains rice husks, reducing plastic waste by approximately 35%. For shaving razors and hairbrushes, please inquire at the front desk.
We would appreciate your cooperation in reducing plastic waste by bringing your own toothbrush and other amenities when you travel in future.
