Circular textiles in the hotel

Workshop: Circular textiles in hotels

Turn waste into value: Design Thinking for modern hospitality

Do you know how many kilograms of textiles your hotel removes from circulation every year? It's time to look at them differently—not as waste that requires disposal, but as a valuable resource with significant financial and branding potential.

Join our intensive 120-minute workshop, where hotel managers and decision-makers will experience the complete Design Thinking process—from conducting a textile audit, through developing upcycled products, to creating authentic storytelling that impresses guests and investors without greenwashing.

Who Should Attend?

This workshop is designed for hotel managers and team leaders who want to implement practical circular economy (CE) solutions within their properties. We welcome professionals from: 

  • Housekeeping – managing linen, towels, and textile inventories. 
  • F&B – responsible for table linens, napkins, and restaurant textiles.
  • Spa & Wellness – managing bathrobes and specialist textile products. 
  • General Management, Marketing, and ESG teams – seeking operational savings while advancing sustainability strategies. 

Why Attend?

This is not a theoretical seminar. Working in small interdisciplinary groups with industry experts, you will complete a process that can be implemented directly in your hotel. During the workshop you will: 

  1. Map your textile resources – Identify waste streams and opportunities using a Textile Audit Matrix. 
  2. Design innovative solutions – Apply creative techniques to transform retired textiles into practical hotel accessories or branded merchandise. 
  3. Develop a business case – Use a Circular Product Canvas to evaluate implementation feasibility, production costs, and compliance with hygiene standards. 
  4. Create a compelling story – Learn how to communicate your upcycling initiatives in a way that enhances your hotel's reputation and guest loyalty while avoiding the perception of cutting costs at the expense of quality. 

 What Will You Take Away?

You will leave with a pilot-ready circular product concept and a practical marketing communication framework. More importantly, you will understand how to implement circular economy principles in your hotel, reduce operational costs, and strengthen your property's position as a leader in sustainable hospitality.

Change your perspective and lead your hotel into the circular economy.
