Project overview:
Rogers Hospitality set up its Waste Management Division (WMD) in Bel Ombre in September 2022 to improve waste management and reduce the environmental impact of waste generated by its business units in Bel Ombre. Since its start, WMD has been effectively processing an average of 1.5 tons of waste per month, collected from the Heritage Resorts hotels, C Beach Club, Kaz'alala, Le Château de Bel Ombre, and Heritage Golf Club.
The Waste Management Division collects sorted waste daily and stores it in a designated location in Bel Ombre before transporting it to recyclers based on its category. Valuable waste, such as paper and plastic waste, aluminium cans, and metals, is sold by weight. Glass waste is deposited with Plankton, a cooperative supported by the Rogers group specializing in glass bottle recycling.
The WMD also partners with Scott to dispose of batteries and coffee capsules, while Bio Oil collects used cooking oil. Agrïa, another of Rogers' subsidiaries, collects green waste to transform it into compost. Other types of waste are treated depending on their nature. For example, linen and textiles are donated to local charities or other beneficiaries in the region.
Our strategy:
The WMD is essential to Rogers Group's commitment to promoting a circular economy. By maximizing the value of the waste produced by its business units in Bel Ombre before final disposal, WMD helps preserve the environment, reduce adverse effects on human health, and promote sustainable production and consumption patterns in Bel Ombre.
Partnerships with various recyclers and cooperatives enable WMD to process and recycle waste in the most environmentally responsible manner possible, creating a closed-loop system that maximizes resource efficiency while minimizing waste.
We aim to achieve a 75% diversion rate for all Rogers’ activities in the Bel Ombre region by the end of 2030.
Tracking progress:
The Waste Management Division has made remarkable progress towards this goal, with a monthly waste processing rate of 1.5 tons and a current average diversion rate of 65% done within a few months.
