Hilton News | Sustainable Travel Bucket List: 10 of the Best Eco-conscious Hiltons Around the World #10 Hilton Brisbane

Hilton Brisbane

Located in the heart of Brisbane’s central business district, Hilton Brisbane’s creative environmental initiatives include over 23 waste streams and community partnerships. These range from recycling soap through Soap Aid, oral care items and other single-use plastics through TerraCycle, single-use coffee cups through Closed Loop, and single-use containers through Envirobank. Their container recycling with Envirobank is part of the Queensland Government's Containers for Change program. The hotel diverts up to 10,000 items a month from landfills and is able to fund environmental and social justice projects with the funds generated. Hilton Brisbane is also home to five beehives (250,000 pollinators) that produce 500 kilograms of honey a year. This honey is used in the hotel’s kitchens, and as gifts for guests and clients. In addition to beehives on the roof, the hotel also has a kitchen garden.
