Bali’s Eco Lifestyle – The Push Towards Sustainability – Bali, renowned for its lush landscapes, vibrant culture, and natural beauty, is increasingly taking a proactive stance on sustainability. The island is not only focused on preserving its unique environment but is also setting an example as a global destination committed to eco-friendly initiatives. Recent policies, like the island-wide ban on single-use plastics, have inspired both residents and visitors to adopt greener habits, reducing waste and pollution. From bringing reusable bags for shopping to supporting eco-conscious businesses, Bali is forging a sustainable path forward.
Eco-Friendly Initiatives Across Bali
Many Balinese businesses are leading the way with innovative, eco-friendly practices, showcasing how sustainability can be woven into everyday operations. One inspiring example is Potato Head, a well-known destination for both locals and tourists. This popular establishment has taken a creative approach by crafting furniture, such as chairs, from recycled plastic waste. These efforts are part of Potato Head’s broader commitment to environmental responsibility, setting a standard for sustainable practices in Bali’s hospitality industry.
Amo’s Sustainability Efforts
At Amo, we are passionate about contributing to Bali’s eco-friendly movement through thoughtful and impactful changes. Sustainability is at the heart of our operations, from product choices to packaging solutions. Here’s how we’re making a difference:
- Coconut Fiber Scrubs: Our scrubs use natural coconut fiber, replacing synthetic exfoliants. This biodegradable option offers a zero-waste approach, embracing renewable, locally-sourced materials that are both effective for skincare and gentle on the environment.
- Recycled Candle Production: We transform used cooking oil into beautiful, functional candles. This initiative not only reduces waste but also transforms a pollutant into a sustainable product, showing how creativity can drive sustainability.
- Cassava Bags: In place of plastic, we provide cassava bags at our bathhouse. Made from cassava starch, these bags are both biodegradable and compostable, aligning with our vision of reducing plastic waste and promoting sustainable alternatives.
- Cassava Straws: Our cassava-based straws enhance the drink experience sustainably. These straws are 100% biodegradable and compostable, leaving no harmful plastic waste behind and supporting a lower carbon footprint.
- Reusable Tote Bags: Durable and stylish, our eco-friendly tote bags are perfect for daily use, helping to reduce single-use waste. They’re part of our mission to encourage a more environmentally conscious lifestyle among our community.
