Hotels Taking Steps Towards Sustainability in Roswinkel

At Gasthaus Düther Schleuse, an array of eco-friendly practices coalesce to provide a sustainable stay for its visitors. Pioneering the way with a green roof, this establishment gives new meaning to 'green hospitality'. The building not only utilizes materials from sustainable resources but is also designed to maximize airflow, reducing the need for air conditioning. The influx of natural light into the structure decreases the requirement for artificial lighting and heating, paving the way for energy conservation.

Remarkably, the guesthouse further emphasizes on sustainability through triple-glazed windows that block heat or cold, rainwater collection and usage systems, and the use of non-toxic cleaning products. The restaurant makes a conscious choice to serve organic food, with most of the ingredients sourced locally. An alternative vegetarian menu is available to cater to diverse dietary preferences. LED lighting illuminates the premises while electric car charging stations cater to green mobility. Thoughtful touches like informing guests that towels are only changed upon request, and using eco-labeled toilet paper in bathrooms that also feature toilets with a flush capacity of up to six liters, reiterate their commitment to reducing water usage. The no disposable policy for cups, glasses, plates, and cutlery, along with a robust waste separation policy, underscore the establishment's dedication to effective waste management.
