Resort Environment Update
While we haven’t made a big splash of it, there have been many efforts taken over the last few years to show how much Spinnaker Resorts is committed to the environment. We have been green focused
in everything we do. What follows is just one example of a test we are conducting at Royal Floridian South to show our commitment to make a difference for our environment and our planet.
One of our goals is to eliminate plastic waste throughout our resorts. As a company last year we disposed of or had our guests remove and discard approximately 180,000 two ounce plastic bottles of shampoo
with conditioner. That’s a significant amount of plastic waste. So at Royal Floridian South (Ormond Beach, FL) we have begun to test a new shampoo refillable dispenser. They were installed
throughout the building the week of December 8 – 13, 2019. Each refillable dispenser holds 19 ounces and is refilled from a one gallon recyclable bottle. If this test for the durability and
manageability of the product is successful and we deploy this solution throughout our resorts, we will only use 2,800 gallon bottles of shampoo a year which can be recycled, thereby reducing the
amount of plastic waste that goes to landfills by over 177,000 plastic bottles in one year alone! Just look at how many plastic two ounce bottles one gallon replaces.
So you can see that while we haven’t made a big deal of our efforts, we are very proud of the difference we are making for the environment and the planet and as Owners we want you to feel proud
as well! Stay tuned as we bring you more of our exciting efforts in upcoming editions of your newsletter.
