[accordion title=”Overview”]
Here at Batu Karang we strive to look after the environment as best as we can. Being located on a small Island it is important that we take proactive steps to ensure that both yours and our impact on the island is as small as possible.

As the premier accommodation on the island it is important that we lead the way in environmental concepts to ensure that we set an example to those around us and those yet to come.

[accordion title=”Water”]
We have worked closely with Bioclearance; a specialist in water technologies in order to make sure that we achieve this example.

Technologies used at Batu Karang include the following :

Water purification using desalination and reverse osmosis processes to produce water for all of our water requirements in the pools, showers, hand basins, Kitchens, Bars and the Spa.
Waste Water management in order to recycle all of the water produced by toilets, showers and the kitchen.
Biosolve to help break down grease in drains and grease traps by biological process using bacteria.

[accordion title=”Food Scraps”]
Food scraps from the kitchen are separated from plastics and general rubbish and passed on to local villagers who use it to feed their pigs which they fatten up for ceremonial dishes like Babi Guling (otherwise known as pig on the spit.)

[accordion title=”Glass”]
All complimentary water bottles provided in the rooms, soft drinks and beer bottles from the bars are returned to their respective suppliers for recycling. We choose not to use plastic.

[accordion title=”House Keeping”]
We do change over (replace all linen in the rooms) every second day to limit the amount of laundry. We also encourage our guests to re use their towels and ask them to only put them in the bath tub if they want them to be changed. This is to help reduce the amount of laundry and to help save water.
