Perfumarie's commitment to zero waste saves hotels 50% - 70% of product cost and reduces plastic consumption by > 90%.
Below is a recent case study:
Hotel A has 100 rooms and 75% occupancy. Â Guests, on average, use a little less than one bottle per night per room depending on the amenity. Â They use 25,000 bottles of shampoo, 20,000 bottles of conditioner and 22,000 bottles of body wash each year. They use 1 oz bottles and pay $.30 per bottle.
Financial Savings
- Current Amenity Cost  = 67,000 bottles @ $0.30/oz = $20,100
- Product Cost in Dispensers = 33,500 oz @ $0.18/oz =Â $6,030
- Annual Product Cost Reduction: $14,070Â or 70% SAVINGSÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Environmental Savings   Â
- Current Plastic Consumption = 67,000 1 oz bottles @ 0.29 oz = 19,430 oz or 1,214 lbs Â
- Plastic Consumption Using Gallon Refills  =  262 gallons @ 4.05 oz =Â
1,061 oz or 66 lbs   - Annual Plastic Reduction: 1,148 lbs 95% REDUCTIONÂ
Assumptions:
- When switching from single use bottles to dispensers, hotels save an average of 40% per oz. because of the cost savings associated with buying in bulk and another 50% in product savings because it does not get left unused and wasted in partially-used bottles.  Â
- The average single use bottle contains 0.29 oz of plastic, compared to 4.05 oz of plastic in a gallon container.
