ECOsmart and Replacer have extended their partnership through a deeper integration within the ECOsmart certification platform.
Here’s everything venues need to know about how it helps you move more easily from sustainability measurement to practical action.
What is Replacer?
Replacer is a sustainability platform designed to help hospitality and event venues identify, evaluate and implement more sustainable products, services and operational practices.
It provides access to practical sustainability solutions, supplier recommendations, case studies and business case calculations to help organisations make informed decisions.
How does the ECOsmart and Replacer integration work?
The integration connects ECOsmart certification data directly with relevant sustainability solutions available through Replacer.
Rather than showing every possible sustainability initiative, venues are presented with recommendations that are relevant to their ECOsmart assessment results and certification journey.
This creates a more personalised experience and helps venues focus on the areas where improvements can have the greatest impact.
Where can I find Replacer within ECOsmart?
Replacer can be accessed directly through the ECOsmart portal.
Users will now see Replacer recommendations embedded in relevant ECOsmart assessment questions and in the certification section of the platform.
When an improvement opportunity is identified, users can click through directly to relevant solutions and suppliers.
What kind of recommendations will I receive?
Recommendations are linked to areas where venues could improve sustainability.
Examples include:
- Plastic reduction initiatives
- Waste management improvements
- Circular economy solutions
- Food and beverage sustainability measures
- Guest room sustainability products
- Water reduction initiatives
Recommendations will continue to expand as the integration develops.
How are the recommendations personalised?
Recommendations are based on the information submitted during your ECOsmart assessment.
This means two venues may see different suggestions depending on their current practices, certification level and areas for improvement.
Can I access supplier information through Replacer?
Yes.
Users can explore approved suppliers vetted through Replacer’s process.
Each supplier profile includes information about their products, certifications and sustainability credentials, helping venues make informed purchasing decisions.
Are there case studies available?
Yes.
Many solutions include case studies demonstrating how similar initiatives have been implemented elsewhere in the hospitality and events sector.
These examples help venues understand potential benefits, implementation considerations and business outcomes.
Can I calculate the impact of a sustainability improvement?
Yes.
The Replacer Action Hub enables users to assess the potential environmental and financial impacts of proposed sustainability initiatives.
This includes:
- Waste reduction estimates
- Resource savings
- Financial projections
- Return on investment calculations
- Break-even analysis
Can I track multiple sustainability initiatives?
Yes.
Users can save potential improvements in their Action Hub and build a portfolio of sustainability actions.
This allows teams to prioritise projects, compare opportunities and track progress over time.
Will the integration continue to evolve?
Absolutely.
This is the second phase of the Greengage and Replacer partnership, with additional functionality already planned.
Future developments include expanding solutions across new audit categories, greater community collaboration, and functionality that will automatically update ECOsmart assessments when sustainability actions are completed.
Why is this partnership important?
The partnership helps bridge the gap between sustainability certification and sustainability action.
By connecting assessment results directly to practical solutions, venues can more easily identify opportunities, implement improvements and demonstrate measurable progress on their sustainability journey.
