We take responsibility for our waste
As a Feriecenter, we want to take the lead and show how you can take responsibility for your waste, benefiting both the local and global environment. We work to minimise the amount of waste we produce in the day-to-day running of the Feriecenter. To this end, we have increased our focus on waste sorting, with the aim of recycling as much as possible.
Our action plan:
- We will always investigate the possibilities of repair before we discard the old and buy new.
- We will control food waste in the kitchen and from the buffet.
- We will facilitate better waste sorting in our holiday homes and communal areas.
- We will train our staff on better waste sorting.
- We will communicate better with our guests about waste sorting.
- We will continue to collect litter when we are out in nature.
The above objectives are in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and in particular the following sub-goals:
