Onsite waste management

Waste management in Bali is at a crisis point. It is estimated that 12 million foreign and domestic tourists, and 4.5 million local residents produce more than 857,000 metric tonnes per year of waste. Independent measurement of average tourism and industry waste production potentially place actual production at 10x this level.

The infrastructure for waste management in Bali is currently insufficient to handle the increasing burden. With low levels of recycling, most materials end up in landfill. It is up to businesses to develop the tools and processes to help improve this situation.

We have implemented park-wide waste separation to allow recycling and composting to reduce the level of waste ending up in landfill. Our compost ends up on our gardens to reduce water usage and loss by evaporation.

In the first quarter of 2023, we take pride in our significant achievement of managing a 97% recycling rate and successfully reducing our waste sent to landfill to only 3.4%.
