A project financed by the Sustainable Tourism Tax fund with the participation of Conselleria de Medi Ambient i Territori
In september 2019, Tirme, the waste management concession company in Mallorca, launched the Circular Hotels initiative with the purpose of reducing waste and promoting local products, in collaboration with hotel chains Meliá, Iberostar, Riu and Garden Hotels. Wireless DNA has been responsible for supplying the measurement sensors and the real-time IoT monitoring system for this project.
To carry out a pilot test related to this project, Wireless DNA, with the collaboration of TIRME and the hotel chain Meliá, obtained a grant by the Sustainable Tourism Tax fund with the participation of Conselleria de Medi Ambient i Territori del Govern de les Illes Balears (with a total investement of 69.094€, being the grant contribution 49.333€) with the purpose to facilitate the implementation of a system for monitoring waste weighing and with the result that the project is already in operation at the Meliá Palma Bay Hotel. All this as part of a proof of concept of a circular economy based on the transformation of the organic fraction of the waste into compost to be returned to the local agricultural sector, whose production is purchased by the Palma Convention Centre and its Meliá Palma Bay hotel to be reincorporated into its supply chain.
The project has been successfully completed as of June 2020, and the grant has been justified for this purpose.
A business synergy involving various entities to fight climate change and its effects, with a common mission: to achieve a reduction in the production of waste, its reuse and its reintegration into the production chain in order to close the circle, reducing the emission of C02 gases, in line with compliance with the Sustainable Development Goals driven by the United Nations. A commitment by Wireless DNA to align its products, services and corporate culture with ODS compliance through conviction, not obligation.
