Today, we continue our Environmental Policy series by exploring Product Usage Phase Management and End-of-Life Product Management. As a sustainable hotel supplier serving global hotels and resorts, GCSTIMES believes sustainability must be built into every stage of a product’s lifecycle, from daily use to responsible retirement.

During the product usage phase, we focus on reducing environmental impact through thoughtful design, continuous improvement, and informed use. By supporting energy-efficient operation, promoting eco-certified products, and enhancing performance through regular updates, we help our partners optimize resource consumption throughout a product’s active life.

Equally important is how products are managed at the end of their lifecycle. We design with recyclability in mind and support circular solutions that extend product value beyond first use. Through structured recycling systems, refurbishment initiatives, and transparent product data, we aim to reduce waste, recover resources, and enable more responsible disposal practices.

By managing both use and end-of-life stages responsibly, we advance a circular economy approach and support the hospitality industry in achieving long-term, sustainable growth.
