Sustainability at Mantra on Mary

Here at Mantra on Mary we are committed to embedding sustainability into every facet of our daily operations. We recognise that sustainability is an ongoing journey and are continually striving to reduce our carbon footprint wherever possible. Below are some of the initiatives we have implemented to date.

Dry Amenities

We are delighted to share our ongoing commitment to reducing single-use plastics in our guest rooms. As part of this initiative, we have made a significant decision to eliminate single-use dry amenities, taking a bold step towards a plastic-free environment.

We understand the importance of preserving our planet for future generations. By removing single-use plastic amenities such as toothbrushes, combs, and shower caps from our guest rooms, we are significantly reducing our environmental footprint. Instead, guests can request dry amenities by calling room service or visiting our friendly team at reception.

Large Amenities

As part of our ongoing efforts, we have made the proactive decision to move to large format amenities, replacing our single-use plastic common amenities with eco-friendly pump dispensers throughout the hotel. By eliminating single-use plastic bottles, we are significantly reducing the amount of waste generated by our operations. This commitment aligns with our dedication to environmental stewardship and reflects our ongoing efforts to improve sustainability in all aspects of our hotel.

Recycling

At Mantra on Mary, all hotel waste is separated into co-mingle, cardboard, food waste and general waste, minimising our impact on landfill.  In addition, we have taken a number of steps to further reduce water and embrace a circular system.

  • Removal of single use plastics from all guest rooms.  
  • Notices on all Garbage Chutes to inform Tenants and Guests that only landfill waste to be placed in the chutes and recycling material to be placed in the bins on ground level.
  • Our staff will check bins daily to ensure that recycling has been placed in the correct bins.

Community Support

We are committed to maintaining strong connections with our local community and give back wherever possible.

  • Wherever possible we will support local business with our amenities
  • Support our traditional owners with 2 hanging pictures in the foyer
