Reducing Single-Use Plastics at Lake Mead

Together, We're Making a Difference

The natural beauty of Lake Mead inspire us every day. Protecting our environment for future generations is an important part of our commitment to responsible hospitality.

To reduce waste and conserve resources, Aramark Destinations has significantly reduced the use of single-use plastics across our operations. Since 2024, we have eliminated:

  • Plastic beverage containers
  • Disposable plastic service ware, including cups, lids, straws, cutlery, takeout containers, etc.
    • All disposable service ware we offer is BPI certified compostable. We use reusable service ware when feasible.
  • Single-use hotel amenity bottles
    • Guest rooms now feature bulk dispensers for shampoo, conditioner, soap, and other amenities

These efforts build on earlier initiatives that eliminated:

  • Expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam products
  • Single-use plastic bags

Why It Matters

Reducing single-use plastics helps:

  • Keep waste out of landfills and natural areas
  • Reduce pollution that can impact wildlife and ecosystems
  • Conserve the raw materials and energy required to manufacture single-use plastic products
  • Support healthier, more sustainable destinations for future visitors

Every reusable item, every avoided piece of plastic, and every thoughtful choice adds up to a meaningful impact.

How You Can Help

During your stay, we invite you to join us by:

  • Using refillable water bottles when available
  • Choosing reusable options whenever possible
  • Recycling according to local guidelines
  • Helping us reduce unnecessary waste throughout your visit

Together, we can help preserve the landscapes, waterways, wildlife, and communities that make Lake Mead so special.
