The Phuket Hotel Association Member hotels, including Serenity Resort & Residences Phuket this year came together to reduce the usage of plastic bottles as part of a series of environmental initiatives to reduce plastic waste on the beautiful island of Phuket. In the first year, member hotels were able to save 4.4 million plastic bottles, with all members moving away from plastic water bottles and instead opting for glass bottles.
The saving of 4.4 million bottles per year equates to an astounding 12,054 bottles per day, a 51% reduction! It is important to us and to other member hotels of the Phuket Hotel Association to reduce our environmental impact and to keep Phuket, the beautiful place to visit that it is.
Moving forward, in the coming months and years, as part of the Phuket Hotel Association, our team, led by our General Manager, Urs, will continue to push for envorinmental intiatives and strive to reduce our plastic waste.
