The journey began when Hotel Emporium’s Co-Founder and CEO Andy De Silva found major environmental issues in the hospitality industry, including plastic waste, transportation emissions, and bacteria contamination. In trying to overcome the situation and reduce the negative impact on the environment, he developed ECO POD, a waterless amenity in powder form with compostable packaging that responds to consumer and industry calls for greener options.

ECO POD has had a great reception since its launch among eco-focused hotels willing to reach their sustainability goals without sacrificing quality. Its innovative combination of lightweight powder formulation with stackable packaging addressed several operational challenges that hotels face: reducing costs of transportation, conserving storage space, and doing away with the bacteria risks associated with shared dispensers. By formulating the product as a powder, it reduces the carbon footprint of the product. Secondly, ECO POD’s packaging is made from bamboo, sugarcane, and wood fibers, which ensures further compostability.

Looking ahead, ECO POD is a product of Hotel Emporium’s commitment to making bold strides in the hospitality industry by encouraging it to embrace a culture of sustainability. Minimal plastic waste, compostable materials, and water-saving formulations are combined to create a better future. As more acceptance increases, ECO POD will set the new standard in the approach to amenities, making them synonymous with sustainability and spurring other industry players to move towards a zero-plastic world.

ECO POD is Hotel Emporium’s revolutionary step toward a zero-plastic future in hospitality, addressing several industry-wide sustainability challenges with a single product.
For Planet: ECO POD aligns with the planet’s needs by eliminating plastic from its packaging. The waterless, powder formula further reduces environmental burden in transport and freight, reducing carbon emissions. Composed of fully compostable packaging materials made of bamboo, sugarcane, and wood fibers, this product returns back to nature upon decomposition and is free of harmful residues, thereby supporting a circular economy.
For People: ECO POD helps people—both consumers and hospitality businesses—to make sustainable choices effortlessly. Its user-friendly design ensures convenience for travelers while providing hotels with a sustainable amenity that meets the growing expectations of eco-conscious guests. The formula free of bacteria acts in time to promote hygiene, whereas compact stackable pods optimize storage for hotels.
For Profit: ECO POD helps hotels save costs with reduced shipping expenses due to its lightweight design.The sustainable focus further attracts the eco-conscious travelers, enhancing guest satisfaction and brand reputation. This also helps hotels stay ahead of environmental legislation, ensuring long-term profitability while nurturing responsible business practices.

ECO POD supports nature's own regenerative processes by using renewable resources like bamboo, sugarcane, and wood fibers that biologically degrades and doesn’t contribute to landfill build-up or ocean pollution. The paper-based material decomposes naturally, re-entering the ecosystem without leaving residue of microplastic debris behind, hence completing its cycle from consumption to regeneration. This design promotes a nature-positive alternative to single-use plastics.

With a waterless powder format, ECO POD further eliminates the need for heavy liquid preparations, which reduces the environmental burden for transportation as much as it does for production. This concept parallels how nature can prosper with minimal interference, advocating limited resource consumption while delivering functionality. ECO POD provides another business model contrary to single-use amenities and shows how waste within the industry can be stopped in the design phase; it provides a spur toward future innovation that contributes positively to the planet's health.

ECO POD contributes to ecosystem restoration by removing single-use plastic waste from the hospitality industry, a sector that heavily relies on non-biodegradable packaging. With each ECO POD used, there will be one less plastic bottle or dispenser, ensuring reduced plastic ending up in landfills and oceans harming marine life and ecosystem.

ECO POD also invites responsible farming to support soil replenishment and biodiversity. Utilization of bamboo, being a fast-growing crop with low environmental impact, is one step closer to healthy agricultural ecosystems. Adopting ECO POD will further help hotels to reduce their carbon footprint and promote waste-free consumption.

ECO POD simplifies the complex concept of the bioeconomy by presenting sustainability in a tangible, easy-to-understand product. ECO POD is easy to use, easy to ship, and easy to dispose of, leading to a stronger impact on the road to a zero-plastic future. From compostable materials to water-saving formulas, it allows both travelers and hotel staff to directly experience the bioeconomy without requiring deep-seated knowledge of it. In this respect, sustainability needs to be intuitive and accessible.

The product in itself has got a story to tell—innovative, eco-friendly, and convenient. Guests learn how small choices can be part of a greater environmental movement through simple usage instructions and visible packaging features. The hotels go way ahead by adopting the ECO POD into this narrative and actually show their guests in real-time what it looks and feels like to put sustainable practices into action. It is here that ECO POD makes an otherwise abstract ideal of eco-friendly consumption a reality and takes the lesson out of the hotel for its guests.
