Working in a Sustainable Way - Recycling Highlight

At Carden Park, we're committed to protecting the planet and conserving the stunning natural surroundings of our 1,000 acre estate.

As official Green Tourism members, we continually work towards our environmental goals. Today, we're sharing our recycling processes across the resort.

Wherever possible, we recycle waste across all areas of the hotel. There are extensive recycling programmes for paper, glass, water and food waste.

For example, all of our food waste is processed in a local Anaerobic Digester – a facility that transforms this into energy and animal feed to be used by local farmers.

In our many meeting spaces, we avoid using paper notepads and have recycled glass water bottles instead of plastic.

Given the extensive spa and pool facilities at Carden Park, we put a great deal of time into ensuring we manage waste water in a sustainable way. A substantial amount of water is required to maintain the quality of our two championship golf courses, so much of this water requirement is recycled from our spa facility, filtered through a water treatment plant and used directly on the greens.?All machines used by our greenkeeping team (such as tractors and lawnmowers) are also washed using this recycled water.

We're continually looking for more ways to improve our sustainability practices. If you have any suggestions, please leave them in the comments.
