Greener Hospitality: Simple Sustainability Tips for Blackpool Businesses

Blackpool’s hospitality industry plays a huge part in welcoming millions of visitors to our town every year – and small changes across hundreds of businesses can have a big environmental impact.

Whether you run a hotel, café, restaurant, bar or visitor attraction, here are a few places to start.

Reduce food waste

  • Keep an eye on what regularly comes back from customers or is left unused in the kitchen. Reviewing portions, stock rotation and ordering can help identify where food is being wasted.

Make recycling easy

  • Clear, well-positioned bins make it easier for both employees and customers to make the right choice. Keep signage simple and make sure your team understands what goes where. A quick conversation during staff inductions can prevent recyclable materials being put into general waste.

Don’t forget the smaller items

  • Batteries and vapes should never be placed in general waste. Lithium batteries can become damaged during collection and processing and create a serious fire risk. Make sure employees know how these items should be stored and disposed of safely.

Reduce, reuse, then recycle

  • Look at what comes into your business as well as what leaves it. Could suppliers reduce unnecessary packaging? Could something be reused rather than replaced? Could unwanted furniture or equipment have another life elsewhere?

Be part of a cleaner Blackpool

  • Sustainability isn’t only about what happens inside your business.
  • Encouraging customers and employees to dispose of waste responsibly and supporting initiatives such as Keep Blackpool Tidy can make a visible difference to the town we all share.
