Hotels, resorts, and vacation rentals face a unique challenge: delivering a premium guest experience while reducing single-use plastic waste and controlling amenity costs. Draco's hospitality dispensing systems replace individual shampoo bottles with refillable wall-mount dispensers — cutting plastic waste by 90%+ and amenity costs by 50%+.
This guide covers the complete specification for guest rooms, public restrooms, fitness centers, and pool areas.
California Plastic Amenity Ban
California legislation bans single-use plastic toiletry bottles in hotels. Properties must switch to bulk dispensers or paper-wrapped alternatives. Draco's EZ-Shower, ShowerSlim, and MICA systems are designed specifically for this transition.

Installation
EZ-TAPE (waterproof nano adhesive) is the standard mounting method for shower dispensers:
- No drilling required — ideal for tile, marble, glass
- Holds securely in wet environments
- Removable without damage to surfaces
- 20 pre-cut squares per pack
For permanent installation, screw-mount brackets are included with all dispensers.
The Business Case
| Single-Use Bottles | Draco Dispensers | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per room/night | $1.50-3.00 (4-6 bottles) | $0.30-0.50 (cartridge portion) |
| Plastic waste | 4-6 bottles per room per stay | Zero — cartridges are refilled or recycled |
| Staff time | Place bottles, collect empties, count inventory | Check levels, swap cartridges when empty |
| Guest perception | Standard/expected | Modern, eco-conscious, premium |
| Compliance | Banned in California | Fully compliant |
ROI: Most properties recover the dispenser investment within 3-6 months from amenity cost savings alone.
