Papamoa Beach Resort Sustainability
Everyone has the opportunity to be kaitiaki – guardians of the sky, the sea, and the land that surround us. Part of what makes Papamoa Beach so special is the natural environment, from the dunes to the ocean. At Papamoa Beach Resort, there are special efforts we have put in place to help ensure our land can be enjoyed for generations to come.
Kaitiakitanga – Guardianship of the Environment
Papamoa Beach Resort have undertaken initiatives to help protect our environment. We believe in the value of Kaitiakitanga, meaning guardianship and protection. We have made a promise to our environment and to you to act in a way that guards our environment.
Some of our initiatives include:
- A recycling bin system to help ensure waste is not always wasted
- Bins throughout the park to encourage our manuhiri (guests) to be good with their rubbish
- Sensor lighting in public spaces to save on power. Low watt led lightbulbs used throughout
- AdvanceNature Neutral cleaning products. These products improve indoor air quality and support a healthy environment. These products also use recyclable containers
- Switching to Forest & Bird New Zealand-made wellness products. Forest & Bird use recyclable plastics, biodegradable formulas, and donate a percentage of its value to Forest & Bird to support animals and wild places
- Offering guests a “No Service” option to reduce on washing
- All new equipment is energy and water efficient
- Energy efficient heat pumps
