As hotels strive for higher sustainability standards, amenities brands are rising to the occasion with eco-friendly solutions that impress. Ruth Hogan reports on hotels moving towards a cleaner and greener amenity offering in the October 2022 issue of HM Magazine.

One of the most exciting innovations in hotel bathroom amenities in the past decade, SHAPE - short for Sustainable. Hygienic. Aesthetic. Pump. Evolution. - is the safest and most cost-effective way for hotels to offer a premium and sustainable bathroom product, while creating a memorable guest experience.

As a nation, our love for locally-made goods has always been strong. But in recent times this fondness has reached new heights, encouraging Australian hotels to rethink their approach to purchasing bathroom amenities and guest room supplies.

Swisstrade has had close relationships with the hotel industry since its inception in 1997 and continues to offer tailored solutions for hotel operating equipment and supplies today. Swisstrade Director and former hotelier, Peter Weingartner, spoke to Ruth Hogan about the evolution of the business.

Swisstrade is delighted to announce that our team is participating in the Push-Up Challenge this June to push for better mental health. From 1-25 June, our team will attempt to complete over 13,000 push-ups to help raise awareness of the increasing number of Australians dying by suicide and to support the Push For Better Foundation, Lifeline and Movember.

Since 1997 Swisstrade has strived to help Australian hotel owners and operators challenge the status quo in their selection of guest room supplies and equipment. Partnering with hoteliers early in the design and development phase allows Swisstrade to share knowledge of the latest trends, brands and products, to guide operators on more sustainable and economical choices, and to impart recommendations that elevate the overall guest journey.

Since its establishment in 1997, sourcing sustainable and eco-friendly hotel supplies and amenities has been a priority for Swisstrade, who recently demonstrated their continued commitment to sustainability practices by becoming a member of Ecotourism Australia.
