Natura Water System for Meetings
The Natura Water System is an environmentally friendly alternative to the waste and energy associated with both bottled water service and tap water in pitchers typically served during meetings. Natura is served in 2 gallon dispensers in all meetings using Corn Cups which are biodegradable within 60 days. The Natura Water System eliminates waste produced by traditional bottled water, reduces the carbon impact of Hilton by reducing the need for shipping, storage and recycling. Detergent and energy for cleaning glass cups is also reduced.
