As many of you know we at The Sands at Nomad have quite intensive waste management systems and procedures in place. Badly managed waste is one of the BIGGEST THREATS OF THESE TIMES to both Society (People) and our Environment. In short- any commercial property that is not managing their waste is directly responsible for future ill-health of the community and the environment.
Twice a day waste is collected from various locations around the hotel and the Nomad Beach Bar, separation starts at the source.. the first bins used are colour coded.
Further checks and separation happens into Paper, Cardboard, Plastics (HDPE, LDPE, PET), Metals, Glass, Fruit and Vegetables, Meats, Carbohydrates and Starches, Oils, Ash and any electrical appliances, Lightbulbs and Batteries.
A more recent addition to our waste regime is the further separation of the Starches and Carbohydrates (Breads, rice, potatoes, chapatis) from the Proteins. (Meats, Eggs). The finished meal scraps; containing the Carbohydrates and Fruits and Vegetables from the waiter station at the Nomad Beach Bar now go to the chickens on the Nomad Farm to ensure their diet is as natural and free range as possible. Yesterday’s chicken breakfast (photo above) was 7 kilograms of ‘food waste’. Happy Chickens!
