Staying Sustainably with Us
We can all do our bit when it comes to being sustainable, here are some tips on you can be more sustainable during your stay with us.
- Arrive at our properties by using public transport or eco-friendly cars. Our Guest Service Associates can provide further information on transportation options for arriving and departing our properties.
- Please turn off lights in rooms that are not in use and when leaving the apartment.
- Please turn the heating down or off when you are not in the apartment. Between 18c-21c is an ideal temperature range.
- Please turn appliances off at the wall when they are not in use.
- Please conserve water, only use what you require and do not leave taps running.
- Please do not flush sanitary products, wipes or nappies down the toilet.
- If cooking has resulted in excess oils and fats please pour these into a cup and allow them to solidify so that they can be disposed of in the rubbish bin. Please do not pour oils and fats down the sink.
- Please use the recycling provisions provided in your apartment.
- Enjoy our neighbourhoods, we encourage you to explore the areas around our properties and look out for locally produced food and drink items to sample. Explore the local cultural heritage of our destinations or visit a local event or festival. Our website and app are good resources to find this information. Use public transport, where possible, when travelling around our destinations.
- Respect our local neighbourhoods. Please do not litter. Mansley Serviced Apartments are proud to operate in our destinations and we do our bit to keep them tidy by undertaking monthly litter picks.
- Shop sustainably. We provide Mansley tote bags in all of our apartments, they are there for your use during your stay and beyond. Save on using single-use plastic bags by remembering to take your Mansley tote bag out with you.
Waste Management
How we process waste generated from Guest Stays
The waste management plans that we have in place across all the Mansley Serviced Apartment sites ensure that none of the waste generated by our guests or the business ends up in landfill.
Waste from all of our properties is taken to their nearest waste transfer site where recycling is sorted into their relevant recycling stream before being sent to recycling merchants who use will use the waste to create new products.
One such site is the Southwark Integrated Waste Management Facility, one of the most advanced recycling facilities in Europe. This is where our recycling from 10&44 Curzon Street by Mansley ends up.
You can watch this video to learn how the waste is managed and turned into new products.
Non-recyclable items and general waste end up at Energy for Waste (EfW) Facilities. At these facilities the waste is incinerated at very high temperatures, around 850c. The steam generated from the incineration process drives a turbine which creates electricity, this is sent to the National Grid and is considered to be a partly renewable energy source. After the energy from the steam has been used to drive the turbine, the steam then moves through to an air-cooled condenser where it is condensed back into water. This water is then pumped back into the boiler and turned back into steam to drive the turbine, and so the cycle continues.
The ash that is left over from the process has a magnet passed over it to extract any metal that can be sent away for recycling. The processed ash is then sent away and used as an aggregate in construction. You can watch this video to learn more about the Viridor EfW facility that processes the waste generated by Highland Apartments by Mansley works.
