Wyndham Destinations to remove single-use plastic products at timeshare resorts

Wyndham Destinations said its timeshare resorts across the globe would remove plastic straws and other single-use plastic products from food and beverage operations, starting Oct. 1.

The vacation ownership and exchange company noted that the initiative to transition to biodegradable or paper straws should eliminate more than 750,000 single-use plastic straws at its resorts in North America alone and 1.1 million worldwide per year.

The company also devised a plan to remove plastic cups and lids, styrofoam to-go boxes, plastic cutlery and plastic to-go bags across its managed resort locations in an effort to eliminate more than 4.8 million single-use products by the end of 2020.

Wyndham Destinations noted that its resorts in the Asia-Pacific region removed disposable straws from 33 managed resorts.
