Zero Waste to the Landfill
In our ambition to protect nature whilst improving the welfare of the local community and to achieve zero-waste-to-the-landfill, we have created 6 in-house centres (The Lab, Upcycling Centre, Sorting Centre, Organic Wealth Centre, Bottling Plant, The Garden) for processing, recycling and upcycling of waste. We achieved the highlight milestone of not sending any waste to the landfill for the first time in December 2022, and have since then achieved an annualised percentage of waste prevented from reaching the landfill of 94%, with 100% of food waste processed in house.
Glass water bottles were created to replace plastic bottled water
Used glass bottles were the main materials utilised to create the centre for recycling and upcycling activities called The Lab
Organic Wealth Centre, the place where organic waste turns into rich compost to replace chemical fertilisers
