With the goal of becoming a zero-waste operation and taking sustainability a step further, Potato Head’s mission pivots around regeneration: not just preserving the planet, but leaving it in an even better state. This started back in 2017 when Potato Head began the basic process of separating and sorting their own waste on-site. Over the last seven years, this has seen the amount of waste sent to landfill decrease from 51% to 3%. Organic waste compost is sent to a pig farm and an on-site Waste Lab repurposes post-consumer materials into furniture, art, design objects and decor.
The Waste Lab is proudly on display to the public and hotel guests can see these makers and creators at work. Recognising that becoming completely circular also involves the active participation of guests themselves, daily beach clean-up walks each morning invite patrons to restore Petitenget Beach to its pristine state by collecting plastic litter to return to the Waste Lab. At the Waste Lab, you can also take a behind-the-scenes look at how the hotel’s back of house manages waste up until the production line. Throughout the grounds of the resort, there are eye-catching art installations that incorporate waste such as the unmissable, large-scale sculpture by German art activist Liina Klauss made up of more than 5,000 rubber flip flops collected from Bali’s beaches.
