Abstract
This paper deals with the greenhouse gases (GHG) estimated emission from the napkins used in a hotel industry along with the selection of transportation mode vehicle (diesel or petrol vehicle). This study helps us to find whether a reusable or disposable napkin should be used to make a lesser GHG impact on environment. In the present scenario, most hotels are using paper napkins because they are light weighted, cheap and hygienic. The fact, that the relevant data is scattered, and is not available in literature and databases, compelled the data, to be acquired from various sources like journal articles and online blogs with few assumptions. Some critical data that has been collected is mainly from U.S and may vary when applied in India. A hypothetical assumption is used to derive the final conclusion. Cost is calculated for both the napkins associated with their mode of transportation per year. Finally, this paper suggests that reusable napkins should be used to deplete the rate of GHG emission.
