February 2025 - Waterbom Bali had the honor of welcoming Ibu Ni Luh Puspa, Indonesia’s Vice Minister of Tourism, on Thursday, February 13th, 2025. Her visit focused on learning more about our approach to waste management—one of the key ways we reduce our environmental footprint as part of our Karmic Returns in park program.

During the tour, Waterbom’s Green Team shared how we sort, process, and repurpose waste to keep landfill contributions as low as 5%. Some of the key practices include:

- Segregated Waste Bins: Sorting waste at the source to improve recycling and composting efficiency.
- Organic Waste Processing: Turning food scraps and plant trimmings into compost for the park’s gardens.
- Recycling and Repurposing: Finding new uses for inorganic waste to reduce environmental impact.

Waterbom’s commitment to sustainability is about taking consistent, practical steps toward a greener future. We believe that managing waste effectively is just one part of a bigger effort to promote responsible tourism and environmental stewardship.

Vice Minister Ni Luh Puspa emphasized the importance of collaboration between the government and tourism stakeholders in building a more sustainable future for the industry.

"What Waterbom is doing is truly inspiring. Nothing goes to waste—organic and non-organic materials are processed within the park, and even solar panels are used to generate energy. This is the kind of initiative that more tourist destinations should adopt to ensure a cleaner, more sustainable future," stated Vice Minister Ni Luh Puspa.

We appreciate her visit and the opportunity to exchange ideas on sustainability in the tourism industry.

We look forward to seeing more businesses exploring solutions that make a difference, so together we can work toward a greener future, and give back to our Island home of Bali.
