“BeeKind” at The Cavendish

15th April 2009, 8:44am

The Cavendish Hotel in St James's, London, is set to become the first hotel in the capital to introduce the new BeeKind range of in-room bathroom products from Gilchrist & Soames.

BeeKind is the first Gilchrist & Soames collection to use an environmental alternative to plastic bottles. Compared to rigid plastic bottles, the BeeKind paper bottle offers a 59% reduction in packaging material by weight, plus a 92% reduction in waste space after use.

Along with the eco-friendly packaging and formulas, the company is supporting honey bees and sustainable pollination research. Gilchrist and Soames will donate a portion of the proceeds of the sales of the BeeKind Collection to the research dedicated to saving honey bees.

The four-star Cavendish Hotel, which is situated on London's Jermyn Street, off St James's, was awarded a gold accreditation by Green Tourism for London for its environmental policies.

The hotel is the first in London to be awarded the Gold Award for its environmental policies, and the second organisation in the capital to be given the prestigious Gold Award.
