Eco Hotel Philippines, a hotel operator and manager in the Philippines that promotes zero waste lifestyle, travel responsibly and protection of environment. Its rare to see a hotel that add the eco friendly lifestyle to their business model, but we’re glad that they are the first, or might be the first to push a message that we should take care of our environment.
Human trash is a big problem here in our country, and we felt the problem more when flooding brought the trash back to the community and we are devastated to see the big number of human trash and waste being carried from the rivers up to the corners of Manila Bay, because of this problem, many marine life are at risk and the water balance in our ocean starts to be contaminated and can no longer support life to marine life.
Eco Hotel Philippines opened their Zero Waste Store last August 2018, its a store that lets you re-use those containers or empty bottles at home. Those are plastic bottles of shampoo and lotion or any bottle that can be re-use again. Instead of throwing them away, you can re-use it to place new batches of shampoo, conditioner, bath gel and lotion.
The Bring Your Own Bottle campaign of Eco Hotel Philippines is a baby step for everyone who want to shift to Zero Waste Lifestyle
Visit @spacesbyecohotel in Makati every weekend from 10am to 5pm for your bathroom essentials refill -- liquid soap, lotion, shampoo and conditioner. For only PHP 99 per 250ml.
According to Eco Hotel Philippines, the shelf life of their bath essentials are good for 12 months. The bath essentials are created for their hotel branches and they've decided to sell a refillable content to your own bottle.
You can visit Spaces by Eco Hotel in Makati, Cabins in Taguig and Containers Hotel in Tagaytay every weekend from 10am-5pm for the refillable shampoo, conditioners, bath gel and lotions.

The launch is a success, although that some didn’t brought their own refillable bottles -- including me. I was looking for empty bottles at home, but we already sold it in our local junk shop. But thanks to Eco Hotel for reminding us that we should start the Zero Waste Lifestyle inch by inch and the only good way to start is to patronize the Bring your own bottle.

Me and my fellow blogger Bettina Bacani are now trying the zero waste lifestyle -- slowly Im understanding why we need to do this. A good example is that some people are moving to zero waste -- they bring now their own utensils, own bamboo or metal straw and re-usable chopsticks when they dine in a restaurant, some learned to refuse to use plastic utensils and straws, because they know it will add more non-biodegradable trash elsewhere which is harmful to the environment.
Thanks to our blogger friend Millie Manahan for leading us here, the one responsible for pushing the campaign online, and great to meet Gab Mercado, also a blogger and writer for When in Manila, I also learned that she started her zero waste and minimalist lifestyle.
Don’t throw away yet those empty bottles at home. You can re-use it again to store bath essentials which are more cheaper than those mainstream brand.
