Zero Waste-to-Landfill Program
Pioneering Zero Waste Solutions for Sustainable Destinations
THE PROBLEM
Bali faces a critical waste management issue with 52% of its waste improperly managed, leading to widespread pollution in waterways and overflowing landfills. The tourism boom has intensified this problem, culminating in 728,366 tonnes of solid waste in 2023 alone, equivalent to 182 Garuda Wisnu Kencana Statues (4000 tonnes each), most of which ends up in landfills. Balancing hospitality and tourism development with environmental sustainability is now more crucial than ever for preserving Bali’s natural beauty and ecological health.
OUR SOLUTION
Eco-Mantra now offers a range of tailored solutions designed to combat Bali’s pressing waste management challenges. We believe in the principle that “you manage what you measure” and hence provide various approaches that can help guide clients with clear metrics and achievable goals. Our work with various clients has been able to reduce waste-to-landfill by up to 90%.
Eco-Mantra offers a comprehensive zero-waste management program tailored to the specific requirements of the property.
We will guide the property to achieve its zero-waste-to-landfill goals.
