This work proposed to develop and introduce a cleaner production (CP) programme for Irish hotels. This work expected that the core group of hotels would achieve 831,000 euro reduction in direct costs per annum and reduce their environmental impacts by a reduction of 3000 t of CO2 emissions, reduce waste going to landfill by 870t and reduce water consumption by 50,000m3. 56 hotels were engaged in more than 20 counties in Ireland. The hotels ranged from 3, 4, and 5 star hotels and represented about 10% of Irish hotel room stock. Quantifiable environmental achievements included 1113t of waste diverted from landfill and 3000t of CO2 output reduced by the end of 2006. 20 training sessions and workshops were held with over 600 person-training sessions delivered. 40 environmental reviews were carried out and the CP plans created.
