WORKING TOWARDS SUSTAINABILITY The resort has worked hard to ensure it functions as sustainably as possible; for the past four years, it has been operating on a ‘zero waste to landfill’ model. This has meant that it has reused, recycled and repurposed up to 40 tonnes of waste per month through several initiatives such as feeding programmes and composting, simply through more effective management of its waste.
