"Environment" - Sustainability at PHOENIX SEAGAIA RESORT

"GHG reduction" "Maintaining the surrounding environment"

Scope 1, 2, 3 / Preservation of black pine area / Preservation of beach area / Reduction of environmental burden
In the "Environment" area, we aim to be carbon neutral with the themes of "GHG reduction" and "preservation of the surrounding environment."
We will work on "Scope 1, 2, 3," "Conservation of the black pine area," "Conservation of the beach area," and "Reducing environmental impact."
In addition to reviewing cleaning and amenities after the second night in the guest rooms, one of these initiatives is utilizing vegetable scraps from the restaurant.
We are also working to protect and cultivate Black Pine Forest and to clean up Hitotsuba Beach.
 

Details of the initiative
 
Energy efficiency

We are currently converting all hotel lighting to LED, including in guest rooms, corridors, and restrooms. We also conduct thorough maintenance to extend the lifespan of equipment, leading to greater energy efficiency.

Request for energy conservation in guest rooms

We have placed energy conservation stickers and information about reducing environmental impact in all hotel rooms. (More guests are turning off the air conditioners and lights before checking out.)

 

Environmentally friendly transportation method ①

We offer eco-friendly transportation options within the resort, such as bicycle rentals, jogging and walking maps, and course guides.

Environmentally friendly transportation method ②

We have begun considering converting our company vehicles to electric vehicles, and are also working to increase the number of electric vehicle charging stations within the resort.

 

Reduced cleaning for consecutive nights

As part of our environmentally friendly efforts, we have installed separate trash bins, and for guests staying multiple nights, we have made room cleaning, towel changes, and amenity replenishment all available upon request.

Towards environmentally friendly products

In an effort to reduce plastic waste, we have replaced guest room amenities with biomass-based products, and have also changed products such as plastic bags used in restaurants and shops.

 

Food waste reduction x Zoo

Lettuce scraps generated during cooking at Pine Terrace and unused bread are donated to Miyazaki City Phoenix Zoo as food for the animals.

Initiatives to reduce food waste

At Pine Terrace, we are working to reduce food waste by dividing food into smaller portions and providing smaller tongs so that large amounts are not served at once.

 

Protection and cultivation of Black Pine Forest

A specialized team is carrying out conservation activities for Black Pine Forest, including aerial spraying of chemicals, trunk injection, and felling of dead pine trees. We also regularly plant black pine trees in areas where pine wilt disease has occurred.

Products made from discarded pine

We have produced toothbrushes by crushing discarded pine wood generated within the resort and combining it with biomass, and have collaborated with other companies to develop golf tees and markers using the same resin that can be recycled into the soil.

 

Recycled paper and documents

Starting in September 2024, we will begin introducing toilet paper made in part from waste paper generated within the resort. Recycling waste paper will help secure forest resources and reduce CO2 emissions.

Beach clean-up activity

To ensure that loggerhead turtles can lay their eggs safely at Hitotsuba Beach, we regularly carry out beach cleanups to pick up driftwood and illegally dumped trash. (Note: We also invite the general public to participate in the spring cleanup.)
