Futouris, the German Sustainability Initiative established in 2009, is dedicated to conserving the natural and cultural heritage while promoting sustainable tourism practices. Their project "Plastic Waste Reduction Toolkit" gives tour operators and their suppliers (hotels) practical, hands-on and easy to understand guidance for switching to more sustainable alternatives to single-use plastic. The toolkit includes, among others, 11 decision trees for the reduction of plastic in the context of different businesses, rating charts for the impact of different plastic alternatives, standard operating procedures to implement more sustainable alternatives to plastic step by step, and starters manuals for a “plastic pollution free holiday”. The Plastic Waste Reduction Toolkit was developed by SUSTOUR project partner Futouris.
