Sustainability at Breakfree Aanuka Beach Resort

Here at Breakfree Aanuka Beach Resort we are committed to embedding sustainability into every facet of our daily operations. We recognise that sustainability is an ongoing journey and are continually striving to reduce our carbon footprint wherever possible. Below are some of the initiatives we have implemented to date.

Dry Amenities

We are delighted to share our ongoing commitment to reducing single-use plastics in our guest rooms. As part of this initiative, we have made a significant decision to eliminate single-use dry amenities, taking a bold step towards a plastic-free environment.

We understand the importance of preserving our planet for future generations. By removing single-use plastic amenities such as toothbrushes, combs, and shower caps from our guest rooms, we are significantly reducing our environmental footprint. Instead, guests can request dry amenities by calling room service or visiting our friendly team at reception.

Large Amenities

We have made the proactive decision to move to large format amenities, replacing our single-use plastic common amenities with eco-friendly pump dispensers throughout the hotel. By eliminating single-use plastic bottles, we are significantly reducing the amount of waste generated by our operations. This commitment aligns with our dedication to environmental stewardship and reflects our ongoing efforts to improve sustainability in all aspects of our hotel.

  

Recycling

At Breakfree Aanuka Beach Resort, all hotel waste is separated into co-mingle, cardboard, food waste and general waste, minimising our impact on landfill.  In addition, we have taken a number of steps to further reduce water and embrace a circular system such as:

  • Recycling all scrap metal
  • Sending second-hand white goods off for recycling
  • Removing all single use plastic water bottles

  

Community Support

We are committed to maintaining strong connections with our local community and give back wherever possible.

  • Donate unwanted items to St Vincent de Paul Society.
  • Partner with the Department of Environment to ensure revegetation of the coastal wetlands around and through the property to remove invasive species.
  • Partner with Coffs Harbour City Council to provide accommodation for Sporting events the in Coffs Harbour region.
