A Hotel’s Journey Toward Sustainable Savings

Located in the heart of Whistler, BC, Adara Hotel is known for its boutique charm, rooftop pool with mountain views, and thoughtful touches like fresh cookies and pet-friendly stays. Now, it's also gaining attention for its sustainability efforts; cutting tissue costs and reducing waste, all while elevating the guest experience.

The Fox Fold Difference

Reducing Waste:

Switching to Fox Fold means refilling, not replacing—no more tossing half-used toilet rolls or tissue boxes. The recyclable, plastic-free packaging shrinks Adara’s environmental footprint. And with local distribution hubs like Vancouver, shipping emissions are down too.

Lower Costs:

Since adopting Fox Fold, Adara has seen a reduction in monthly spend on tissues. Refillable dispensers mean less waste, and compact packaging allows for larger, more efficient orders—saving money now and in the long run.

Supporting Sustainability:

As a mountain resort, Adara takes climate change seriously. Their sustainability pillars—waste reduction, local sourcing, energy and water efficiency, and community engagement—guide every decision. Fox Fold aligns perfectly: zero-waste, plastic-free, and built for lasting impact.

Looking Ahead

Adara plans to reinvest savings into expanding their green initiatives—like better waste sorting and more local partnerships. Fox Fold is just the start of their broader commitment to smarter, more sustainable hospitality.

30% Savings with Zero Waste

Nestled in the heart of Whistler Village, Sundial Hotel has long been known for offering guests unbeatable mountain views, ski-in/ski-out access, and premium hospitality. But behind the scenes, the team is just as focused on elevating their operations—especially when it comes to sustainability. Since switching to Fox Fold’s refillable tissue dispensers, Sundial has cut their monthly tissue costs by 30% while maintaining the high-quality guest experience they're known for.

The Impact of Fox Fold

Reducing Waste

Prior to Fox Fold, Sundial faced excessive waste from traditional tissue boxes that couldn’t be fully emptied—especially frustrating in high-traffic suites after a long day on the slopes. Now, every sheet gets used. With Fox Fold’s refillable dispensers, there's no waste left at the bottom of the box and no plastic in sight.

Cost Savings

Sundial has achieved a consistent 30% monthly savings on tissue costs since making the switch—proof that sustainability can be smart business. In a village where luxury is expected, it’s a win to find a solution that balances performance, aesthetics, and the bottom line.

Premium Design

When we asked the Sundial team what they’ve appreciated most since switching, the answer was simple:

“We like the sleek and minimalist design, plus the customer service has been amazing so far!” - Jon Walker, Head of Housekeeping

For a property that prides itself on aesthetics and seamless operations, having a tissue solution that looks good and has seamless operations, it makes a big difference

Future Impact

As Whistler continues to attract eco-conscious travelers from around the world, Sundial is setting a new standard for what sustainability in hospitality can look like. Fox Fold’s elegant, zero-waste solution has proven to be the right fit—not just for today’s operations, but as a long-term partner in their commitment to greener hospitality. Together, they're redefining what it means to be both luxurious and low-impact in the heart of one of Canada’s most iconic resort destinations.

Supporting a Carbon-Neutral Future

As British Columbia’s first carbon-neutral hotel since 2009, the Inn at Laurel Point has spent years refining their approach to waste reduction, responsible procurement, and environmental leadership. Every decision they make, from energy use to amenities, is tied to a bigger mission: creating a more sustainable, equitable, and prosperous world by 2030 and beyond. 

Switching to Fox Fold’s plastic-free facial tissues is another step toward eliminating unnecessary waste without sacrificing quality or guest experience.

“Fox Fold’s solution isn’t just a product; it’s a reflection of our commitment to sustainability. By choosing a brand that prioritizes responsible sourcing, minimal waste, and innovation, the hotel continues to lead by example.” - Sam Hoang, Housekeeping Manager

The Impact of Fox Fold

Reducing waste:

Like many hotels, they once used non-refillable facial tissue boxes with plastic components. Switching to Fox Fold meant eliminating unnecessary waste—

”no more plastic lips to remove, cardboard boxes to flatten, or partially used tissues discarded. Instead, we simply recycle a thin paper wrapper.” - Sam Hoang, Housekeeping Manager

Cost Savings:

By eliminating unnecessary plastic components and streamlining operations, the hotel has cut costs without sacrificing quality or guest experience. Over time, these savings add up, making a measurable impact on both the bottom line and the planet.

“Beyond the environmental benefits, the switch to Fox Fold makes financial sense. Across our 200-room hotel, we’re on track to saving $2,700 annually; turning a simple switch into a significant financial and environmental win.” Sam Hoang, Housekeeping Manager

Sustainable Sourcing & Smarter Operations: 

"With Fox Fold, we’re not just using a product—we’re embracing a smarter, more sustainable way to operate, making it easier for our team to uphold our environmental commitments every day." - Sam Hoang, Housekeeping Manager

By choosing Fox Fold’s responsibly sourced, plastic-free products, Inn at Laurel Point is reinforcing its commitment to Canadian innovation and sustainable hospitality. The switch has streamlined housekeeping workflows, reducing time spent handling packaging waste and replenishing supplies.

Future Impact

The Inn at Laurel Point is planning major sustainability advancements, all aligned with their 2030 goals and commitment to their property, people, and community. Upcoming initiatives include rainwater catchment systems, solar panels, and a refined waste diversion strategy to achieve a 90% diversion rate. 

A key part of this strategy is expanding their partnership with Fox Fold to include toilet paper, further reducing waste and energy use across the hotel. By deepening this collaboration, Inn at Laurel Point continues to lead the way in sustainable hospitality—proving that every thoughtful choice brings lasting impact.

Eliminating Waste and Preserving Nature

Black Rock Oceanfront Resort, located on the edge of the breathtaking west coast, looks at every hotel touchpoint as an opportunity to go sustainable. Their commitment to reducing energy use, single-use plastics, and harmful chemicals is rooted in their respect for the pristine natural environment that surrounds them. With the adoption of Fox Fold’s innovative tissue solutions, they’re taking meaningful steps to further these goals.

The Impact of Fox Fold

Reducing Waste

Black Rock has already observed a reduction in waste from "end of roll" toilet paper remnants—a common contributor to unnecessary waste. By switching to Fox Fold’s roll-free solution they’ve eliminated the need for traditional rolls, making a tangible difference in their operations.

Cost Savings

While still new, the team at Black Rock anticipates long-term cost savings. The investment aligns with their larger sustainable efforts, ensuring every dollar spent will contribute to their environmental mission.

Sustainable Practices

Fox Fold has enabled Black Rock to integrate another renewable resource, bamboo, into their guest experience. This change complements the resort's sustainability ethos, which already includes eco-conscious bedding, coffee, cleaning products, and food and beverage sourcing. 

Future Impact

Looking ahead, Black Rock Oceanfront Resort continues to expand its sustainability initiatives, with plans to implement energy-saving public lighting controls. Their partnership with Fox Fold exemplifies their commitment to innovation in preserving the natural beauty of the west coast while inspiring their guests and neighbouring resorts to join them in protecting the stunning west coast for generations to come. 

Supporting Hotel Carbon Neutrality

The Parkside Hotel & Spa is dedicated to more than offsetting emissions. As a carbon-neutral hotel, sustainability is woven into every aspect of its operations, ensuring tourism protects and enhances the natural and cultural beauty guests come to experience in Victoria, BC. By switching to Fox Fold, the Parkside Hotel has eliminated plastic waste from tissue packaging, reduced its landfill contribution and switched to bamboo vs trees. These efforts help it maintain its status as the first urban Beyond Green hotel in the world. 

The Impact of Fox Fold

Reducing Waste

Before partnering with Fox Fold, The Parkside Hotel & Spa’s tissue products came with unnecessary packaging and plastic waste. Now, with Fox Fold’s zero-waste tissue solutions, the hotel has eliminated this excess waste entirely, keeping its landfill impact in check and reinforcing its commitment to sustainability.

Cost Savings

While sustainability remains the hotel’s primary focus, the switch to Fox Fold has also delivered financial benefits, saving The Parkside Hotel & Spa hundreds of dollars monthly on tissue costs. 

Sustainable Practices

Fox Fold’s products align with The Parkside Hotel & Spa’s mission to physically reduce its carbon footprint through real, measurable change and using more renewable resources like bamboo. By choosing sustainable alternatives, the hotel is leading by example in the hospitality industry.

Future Impact

Looking ahead, The Parkside Hotel & Spa is continuing its sustainability journey with a month-long Earth Day celebration this April in partnership with the Sierra Club and Supply Victoria. As the hotel expands its environmental initiatives, Fox Fold remains a trusted partner in helping them achieve their ambitious sustainability goals.

With every decision rooted in environmental responsibility, The Parkside Hotel & Spa is proving that sustainable tourism isn’t just possible—it’s the future.
