COMPOST

THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY HAS A REAL IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND EVERY SMALL GESTURE COUNTS.

To help you understand, here we explain how we apply circularity at our establishments.

We have seen first-hand the benefits of a circular economy by generating 67.846kgs of organic compost just from the organic waste collected from the Playa Garden Selection Hotel & Spa, a hotel with 226 rooms located in Playa de Muro (Mallorca). This was the setting for our pilot project where we calculated that each guest generates 0,67 kg of organic waste every day, and for every kilo of organic waste that we collect, we can produce 0,75 kg of organic compost..

THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY HAS A REAL IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND EVERY SMALL GESTURE COUNTS.

To help you understand, here we explain how we apply circularity at our establishments.

ACTION 1

Conscious and sustainable purchasing, understanding exactly which requirement we are fulfilling with each purchase.

ACTION 2

We designate a space at the buffet in our hotels (BioCorner) for 100% organic produce along with local and seasonal products.

ACTION 3

We separate organic waste, that is, biodegradable waste that will decompose thanks to the microorganisms present.

ACTION 4

We transport our own organic waste, and we collect and transport garden waste from collaborating organisations.

ACTION 5

Once the organic waste has been collected, we produce quality organic compost using traditional methods.

ACTION 6

We provide organic compost to farmers which is used to cultivate organic crops that will later be used in the hotel and our BioCorner.

Seeing the incredible results of the pilot project, we thought: what would happen if we did the same at all of our hotels? So, by the same token…

Faced with this potential, we decided not to waste a single minute and to start buying the machinery needed to create our own compost plant.
