• {{hotel_type}}: type and size of the hotel.
• {{current_waste_practices}}: what is currently done with waste and recycling.
• {{local_regulations}}: relevant local waste disposal and recycling regulations.
• {{sustainability_goals}}: any specific environmental targets.

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing context before proceeding.
2. Assess the current waste management practices and identify gaps in compliance and sustainability.
3. Provide a step-by-step plan for improving waste segregation, disposal, and recycling.
4. Recommend how to engage staff and guests in the program.
5. Suggest metrics to track progress and ensure ongoing compliance.

Output format Provide a structured plan with sections for assessment, action steps, staff training, and monitoring. Use bullet points and tables where helpful. Keep the tone practical and encouraging.

Guardrails

• Do not assume specific local regulations; advise checking with local authorities.
• Avoid making claims about environmental impact without evidence.
• Stay focused on waste management; do not expand into broader sustainability topics unless relevant.

Example

• {{hotel_type}}: "mid-size city hotel"
• {{current_waste_practices}}: "mixed waste, no recycling program"
