1.0 INTRODUCTION
Background
Recycling is one of the most elementary practices for the companies to generate new
potential material by addressing growing problems of municipal solid waste. With the help of
recycling process, necessary material or valuable things can be regenerated again or reused.
Recycling process is the modern concept of sustainable development that helps hospitably
industry to take new further steps in order to meet the consumer satisfaction in environment
growth. It is very necessary or effective process of recycling in hotel industry for getting good
sustainable environment for the business (Brizga, Feng and Hubacek, 2017). It also helpful to
reduce the costing of raw material in the development area. Further it helps to keep the
environment clean and eco friendly.
In other terms, for hotels they face high range of barriers to sorting and recycling their
waste. They are extent to limited by the waste management infrastructure in their locality. It
brings new managing task overall, it brings new managing effective culture environment in order
to meet out the best possible action plan.
Sometimes hospitality sector has limited infrastructure waste management techniques due
to which leisure industry cannot maintained their position level together. Apart from that, it also
helps to keep the all management task more appropriate and effective (Chan and et.al., 2017).
Present study will be based on hospitality industry that to which extent recycling is critical for
the hospitality sector. So yes it is very necessary for the industry to keep environment safe and
secure. In UK waste culture has been rapidly increasing due to diminishing landfill space and
increasing collection and disposal costs. Due to ineffective waste management and long term
growth in order to meet out the best form of results.
The largest waste fractions generated by hotels are glass, organic, cardboard and paper,
metals and plastics. In hospitality sector large number of waste has come out from kitchen
activities, hotel is requited to make more serious about the waste management techniques.
In order to develop the waste management practices hotel manager needs to require and
adopt the best effective feasibility audit to ensure the waste management process plan. In order
to meet out the goals and best forming results, it is necessary to keep all task alive and most
effectively done (Choi, Jang and Kandampully, 2015). For example, Create employee interest in
the facilities recycling program. Build ownership by involving employee in the initial stage of
1

the programme. Present study will help to explain the significant factors of recycling that helps
to keep the environment more sustainable and effective for long term. Apart from that, assist the
recycling team in establishing the hotel recycling goals. Further it discussing about the important
factors of recycling for hospitality industry.
The main aim of this present research is to define the importance of recycling process or
their importance in hospitality sector. That helps to make businesses aware about the waste
management practices. This present research helps to increase the importance of waste
management into the best hotel industry (Han and Yoon, 2015). It helps to take new different
opportunities and growth in order to keep all things more effective and valuable. The use of
lightweight plastics and composite materials in the automotive industry has been increasing the
important role in current days. The study aims to analyse the different practices that are should
needs to followed by the hospitality industry in order to adopt the recycling process of effective
management task and process. Apart from that, it discovers the new management task and
opportunity to develop the new management effective performance to make the better
advancement growth.
In other words recycling is the component or an element which maintains or improving
the local environment. Recycling process not even keep good economic sense even this are more
valuable for the suitability development

3.0 Literature Review
Theme 1: To identify the importance of recycling process in hospitality industry
According to Lord, Putrevu, and Kreeger, (2015) recycling is the most essential topic and
practices which needs has been increased in hospitality sector. It very vital for some reasons such
as it is easy and flexible to set up and run with some short of knowledge and proper planning and
it feels good to be involved for the sack of better environmental growth and better feasibility
research. Moreover, it helps to sustained the long term growth in the better form of results. It is
very easy and protected the environment in all form of areas. Better it takes long term
environment to make long lasting effects effective challenging task full growth in order to meet
out the best developing challenging in future times. As per the Leonidou and et.al., (2015) it has
been calculated that 30% waste reduction has been done from pubs, 16% waste reduction has
been done from hotels, 98% reduction has been done from nightclubs (Information sheet
Hospitality, 2018).
Recycling or waste management practices is very much essential for the hospitality
companies which helps to enable to identify the sources and types of waste that company
produce. This practices will helpful for the companies to take corrective action plan to develop
good skill development task and better forming results. This can be helpful in many ways. Such
as that process enable to ensure that waste can be reused wherever its possible as raw material to
make new products. Further, it helpful to conserves natural resources, it helps to limit food waste
and help to keep maintained pollution free environment. It also helps to measure the most
important and most challenging resourceful items. Overall, it takes new prominent and
measurable source full item to get the best output results.
According to Leonidou and et.al., (2015) that effective waste management and helps to
focussing on reducing waste material, reusing valuable materials and recycling in better way.
This is essential for the companies to get reduced the additional cost which they invest on the
purchasing raw materials etc. hospitality companies can easily adopts some waste management
models and techniques through which they can easily introduce practices within the business

culture in order to ensure the best waste management practices. Apart from that, some items
which can easily be reused such as LED lighting, dish ware, filtered water instead of bottled,
reducing and reusing supplies of packaging and also can reduce the amount of paper products
which is used in printing and helping in distributing materials.
According to Han and Yoon, (2015) suggests that recycling is beneficial for the
hospitality industry for the better environment. This helps can be more effective and challenging
into more appropriate manner. Recycling centres can also recycle the paper cardboard, metal,
plastic, electronics, food waste and oil, wood and glass. It will be more helpful and best
approachable results in order to meet the objectives. Apart from that, another benefit to the
hospitality industry is to get good image in the community in terms of good praise and long term
growth. With the help of this profitability ratio it helps to give better form of results and target
market goals into more appropriate manner. For example, wastage of food material can be reused
by farmers to get new one or for composting for community gardens, furniture. Linens.
Critical factors of recycling presents in the hospitality sector
According to the point of Tingchi Liu and et.al., (2014), location and labelling of
recycling contain major factor that presents in the hospitality sector. It assists to found suitable
waste contractor in appropriate manner recycle in the business. In today's time, there are several
natural resources that can be helps to attain desired level of results. As a result, people work
together to protect environment for benefit of society and welfare of generation. In addition to
this, waste and management policy act of 1991 has been accomplished which was designed to
address growing concern citizens that impact on waste upon the environment. On the other hand,
Sirakaya-Turk, Baloglu and Mercado, (2014) stated that main component of the act is to promote
reduction, reuse and recycling of solid waste before land-filling or incineration. In Rosewood
Hotel London, legislations also encourage people to recycle and reduce to cooperate with
different people of the business such as government, business, industry and private citizen.
Today's time is successfully developed and wisely utilise resources that increases attractiveness
of environment influences also create decision making process which create major factor to
determine market potential. It is one of the greatest potential outcomes to maintain and improve
environmental change.

In addition to this, Umair, Björklund and Petersen, (2015) said that recycling is key
component to maintain and improving local environment performances. Therefore, it helps to
make good economic sense to demonstrate to guest and community with good ethics. It can be
used as manual as beginning point to develop recycle program for property. With the help of
teamwork and realistic expectations, successfully recycling experience can be develop at
workplace. Cooperation of individual also assists to deal with public and private sector of group.
Hence, they can accomplish goals to make better place. However, Mo and Jeon, (2018) argued
that recycling is one of the element in process to address growing problem and include valuable
material that are re-manufactured and reused. In this way, Rosewood Hotel London can get idea
of resource recovery with modern concept of sustainable development. In order to highly
effective waste management program the chosen business need to capture recyclable material
from the waste stream. It contains knowing material which can be effectively separated from
hotel waste stream.
Impact of recycling on the evolution of sustainability development
As per the views of Schill and Shaw, (2016), recycling or reuse of resources, material
assists to develop important part in the process of sustainability. This is because, it reduces
negative impact of human from the environment. As a result, pressure from the natural resources
can be identify easily. In Rosewood Hotel London, term sustainable development coined for
common future which assists to meet needs of the present to generate ability of future
generations to gain more desired level of results. Sustainable products in the chosen business
provide environmental, social and economic benefits to protect public health with whole life
cycle. From the extraction of raw materials, final disposal work also performed effectively. On
the other hand, Priarone, Ingarao and Di Lorenzo, (2016) stated that recycling is very important
as it creates huge impact on natural environment. There are several harmful chemicals and
greenhouse gasses released from rubbish in landfill sites. It assists to reduce the pollution caused
by waste. Habitat destruction and global warming are some effects that caused by deforestation.
Sustainable development includes satisfying needs of present customers in the chosen business
with effective development program.
Along with this, Ahmad, Bazmi and Bukhari, (2016) generated their views sustainability
is most often defined to meet with needs of present without compromising ability of future

generation to meet with positive results. There are mainly three pillars such as economic,
environment and social which assists to accomplish profits and revenue with large number of
effectiveness. In Rosewood Hotel London, recycling assists to need for extracting which contain
mining, quarrying and logging for refining and processing raw material. All of these create
substantial air and water pollution. It assists to save energy to reduce greenhouse gas emission
that tackle climate change. Beside this, Kravanja, Varbanov and Klemeš, (2015) stated that
recycling assists to reduce energy usage and consumption of fresh raw material from air and
water pollution. Waste disposal and greenhouse gases emissions also increases positive results to
develop more significant advantages to considered environment friendly. Recycling is very
important as waste which create huge negative impact from natural environment.
4.0 METHODOLOGY
4.1 Research design, approach and type
In the research, there are different methods, types and approaches used that assists to
accomplish aim and objectives in positive consideration. There are different elements explained
under here: Research design: Research design is arrangement of conditions or collections with using
different elements in whole study. Therefore, it contains descriptive, experimental,
exploratory, correlative, etc. All these methods are suitable to present study to assess
extent in which recycling is a critical factor for hospitality based enterprise. With the help
of descriptive research design, researcher able to accomplish aim and objectives in
positive consideration (Xu and Gursoy, 2015). Apart from this, other elements of
research design are not suitable because these cannot be effectively apply in present
study. Research approach: Furthermore, research approach is also adopted by qualitative
researchers which tends to be inductive and means to develop theory and look for a
pattern on the basis of data collected. On the other hand, deductive approach usually
begins with hypothesis which consider wide scope of the research. In the present study,
deductive approach has been used that emphasis and focused on exploring new
phenomena from different perspective (Mackey and Gass, 2015). It is commonly

associated with qualitative research because there is no set of rules to consider
appropriate study. For present aim of recycling, this deductive approach is the best aspect
that used to attain effective results in the whole research. Research type: Qualitative and quantitative two kinds of research types. With this
consideration, qualitative study is primarily used to gain understanding of underlying
reasons, opinions and motivations. It provides insights into problems that assists to
develop ideas and hypothesis for potential quantitative research. On the other hand,
quantitative research is used to quantify the problems in a particular way to generate
numerical data that can be transformed into usable statistics. It can be used to quantify
attitude, opinion, behaviour, etc. defined variables. In the present research study,
qualitative data and information used that assists to collect method that are varied using
unstructured or semi-structured techniques (Taylor, Bogdan and DeVault, 2015). This is
because, qualitative research consist non-representative cases that are used as sample to
increase initial understanding. It is process oriented method that contain desired level of
results in whole study successfully. Research philosophy: Research philosophy consider in two aspects such as positivism
and interpretivism. From the both, researcher select interpretivism research philosophy
because it is effective to conduct research on recycling in hotel industry. It provides
subjective assessment and measurement to focus on appropriate system in the whole
program. Research strategy: In the present study, survey has been conducted with taking 20
employees of Rosewood Hotel London. It will help to focus on more effective result and
performances that will be consider to attain more goals and objectives. Research approach: There are two types of research approach such as inductive and
deductive. From the both, researcher select inductive research approach that is useful to
analysis from specific to general. As a result, researcher can focus on further program
that can be successfully build to gain more effective results at workplace. Data collection: In the present research study, questionnaire has been prepared which
assist to conduct survey with using qualitative research study. It also helps to focus on
