InterContinental San Francisco has implemented a series of green initiatives. For starters, the hotel partnered with T2 Site Amenities—provider of upscale recycling products—for a comprehensive recycling program, which has saved the property more than $120,000 annually in waste removal fees and divers 65 percent of waste from the landfill. The hotel management teamed with the city to take advantage of incentives for recycling and composting and linked its recycling efforts with the waste hauler.
In addition, the hotel added designer recycling receptacles by T2 in guestrooms and public spaces. The hotel is also aiming for LEED Gold certification.
