Ascott Jakarta is proud to announce its collaboration with EcoTouch, which focuses on the issue of textile waste and the sustainability efforts that can be carried out together. As explained by Christina as Co-Founder of EcoTouch, textile waste is the second largest waste in the world, apart from that, textile waste has very limited solutions to overcome, so this collaboration is expected to increase the cycle time of textiles used by personal and the hotel industry specifically Ascott Jakarta. "Without realizing it, textile waste can come from clothes, bed sheets, linens, hotel towels and much more," said Christina, Co-Founder of EcoTouch.

On this occasion, Patrick explained "The sustainability that Ascott Jakarta wants to do now is no longer just about being environmentally friendly but more than that, providing support to communities and local businesses that have a vision and mission to develop a sustainability mission."
This launching series also ended with a workshop session from EcoTouch where the invitees were invited to decorate lanyards and keychains produced from textile waste. Vanessa Velindra, Brand & Marketing Manager, Ascott Jakarta explained "Not only this kind of collaboration, Ascott Jakarta has also actively collaborated with many local communities and supported local businesses by providing placement in the Lobby, no matter how small, we want to continue to contribute to a better future. for Ascott Jakarta and Indonesia," he said.
This collaboration between Ascott Jakarta and EcoTouch will be symbolized by the placement of a dropbox in the Ascott Lobby, guests can donate unused clothes or linen which will later be recycled and upcycled by EcoTouch and will be reabsorbed into souvenirs by Ascott Jakarta.
