Cradle to Cradle - Sustainability in focus at Explorer Hotels
Sustainable construction with cradle-to-cradle principle
The Cradle-to-Cradle (C2C) principle is based on the idea that all materials are guided through an idealized, closed-loop raw material cycle. All products are designed from the outset so that all materials and ingredients can be returned to their respective cycles and remain valuable, usable resources.
This innovative approach to a sustainable circular economy was developed in the late 1990s by the German chemist Michael Braungart and the American architect William McDonough. (Source: www.umweltbundesamt.de)

Our carpets made from Econyl are one example. Econyl is a nylon recycled from fishing nets, carpet and textile waste, which can be reused again and again without loss of quality, thus saving fossil resources and reducing marine litter.
With each new location, we review our materials and, where possible, replace them with more sustainable alternatives. For example, in 2022, during the construction of the Explorer Hotel Garmisch, we replaced the headboards in the rooms with a new material. We used loden fabric made from Tiroler Scharfe wool. The idea was to utilize existing natural materials.
During our review, we realized that while this was a great idea, it wasn't practical for everyday use in a hotel due to the difficulty of cleaning it. Therefore, when building the Explorer Hotel Stubaital, we switched to a new loden fabric made from sustainable materials.

The shared core principle is also important to us when choosing our producers. English Design curtains are produced using resource-efficient methods. Durable products are made from recyclable packaging materials. These recycled fabrics and PET bottles are free of harmful dyes and additives and can therefore be reused without hesitation.
The building itself is a hybrid structure. The majority of the facade elements are made from local timber sourced from Tyrol. The use of concrete is kept to a minimum.
Wood, a renewable building material, has an excellent CO2 balance and is ecologically very valuable. In sustainable forestry, harvested wood is processed into lumber (sawn timber), requiring very little energy for the production process—only a fraction compared to the production of a brick.

The carpet in the new Explorer Hotels is made from recycled nylon, which was launched in 2011 by the Italian company Aquafil. Its production uses waste materials such as fishing nets, old carpets, and fabric scraps that would otherwise pollute the environment. The collected waste for the production of ECONYL® carpet is transformed back into nylon using an innovative regeneration process. Pretty cool, right?
We always keep sustainability in mind in our design and are happy to bear the additional costs for the benefit of the environment - We care!
