Divi Resorts Goes Green

(Dive Travel Business News - May 10, 2010) -- Divi Resorts has implemented a variety of sustainability programs and initiatives across its Caribbean properties on Aruba, Barbados, Bonaire, St Croix, and St Maarten.

The measures include eliminating polystyrene foam; utilizing 72-hour biodegradable materials; increased recycling of bottles, paper, ink cartridges and boxes; improving the separation of recyclables; installing low-flow toilets and showerheads; using recycled waste as garden compost; cutting chlorine usage in pools by 50 percent and replacing all standard light bulbs with energy saving bulbs.

Divi staff members also request guests reuse towels and sheets to decrease the energy used in machine washing as well as water waste. In addition, there are recycling programs in place and Divi resorts no longer use disposable cups at open-air bars and restaurants, only reusable plastic cups.

At its resorts in Aruba, there are now easy-to-spot “Eco-Cup” return stands in strategic locations throughout the properties and the resort staff takes part in the Island’s clean-up efforts on the beach and well as at neighborhood recreational centers and other public community locations.
