Food waste is a major contributor to solid waste. In line with TUI’s sustainability agenda, our hotels are developing innovative solutions to minimise food waste.And even what’s left behind can be transformed into something useful. TUI BLUE Berawa in Bali is addressing this issue by trialling a project and investing in a food waste digester, providing an innovative solution to one of the hospitality industry's most pressing environmental challenges. The project demonstrates how high-temperature microbial technology can provide a quick, hygienic, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly solution.

The machine can process up to 150 litres of pure organic waste per day. It requires a special bio-based component to facilitate the composting process. After around 7 hours, the waste is fully composted and dried into a powder, which is then collected and used to fertilise the gardens throughout the property. The hotel uses this compost in its gardens approximately every four months, creating a closed-loop system that significantly reduces waste disposal costs while improving the landscaping. The hotel also provides additional compost to support local institutions and schools, extending the environmental benefits beyond its own property.
