RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Reduction in paper consumption of pieces with ongoing (daily) replacements, and transfer of part of such savings to the menus pieces with sporadic replacements.Previous items in laminated paper started to use tougher material as support generating greater durability, the pos-consumer polypropylene. For the amenities we created a new packaging concept: replacement of box packaging for envelopes, thereby resulting in the reduction in the use of paper and the optimization of some packages, like, tree packages/products replaced with a single package. It’s represent in this item reduction in the use of paper.
CHALLENGE: Reduction in the number of pieces of the visual identity manual: from two hundred twenty to one hundred and ten pieces. The size of practically all pieces maintained in the manual and the new pieces implemented were thoroughly studies with respect to use of paper, thereby rendering the project more sustainable. From the corporate responsibility standpoint and the pieces more delicate and elegant, from the perspective of design – pieces are more compatible with an upscale hotel.
