Denali, the nation’s leading and largest recycler of organic materials, today announced a collaboration with the Hilton Dallas Lincoln Centre to recycle food waste and offer certified zero-food-waste meetings, conferences, and conventions. Through this partnership, the Hilton Lincoln Centre, operated by Aimbridge Hospitality, a leading, global hotel management company and the world’s largest third-party hotel operator, will leverage Denali’s depackaging capabilities to efficiently separate plastic, cardboard, and other packaging from food and drinks to easily recycle food waste that would otherwise have gone to landfills. The resulting clean stream of organics feeds the circular economy locally as it is used to make compost that nourishes North Texas farms and gardens.

This program was born out of Hilton Dallas Lincoln Centre’s commitment to operate more sustainably and the surging customer demand for events that create less waste. Denali works with thousands of businesses to recycle more than 1 billion pounds of food waste each year and offers solutions for large venues, like the Hilton Dallas Lincoln Centre, to economically recycle food waste at scale. The hotel will use Denali’s services to recycle food waste from its kitchens, as well as post-consumer waste collected from buffets.

We’re thrilled to work with Hilton Lincoln Centre Dallas to develop a new model for managing food waste at hotels. Event venues such as hotels, conference centers, and sports arenas create large amounts of discarded food. But thanks to Denali’s technology, expertise, and processes, and the commitment of dedicated customers like the Hilton Lincoln Centre Dallas, this stream of material can be used as a resource to benefit our communities. Ilia Kostov, Denali Chief Revenue Officer
Hilton Lincoln Center is proud to be at the forefront of addressing food waste in the hospitality industry. It’s our pleasure to partner with Denali to offer our customers zero-food-waste events that make a real, positive difference for the environment and also help organizations achieve their own sustainability goals. Adam Gollub, General Manager of the Hilton Dallas Lincoln Centre
