Group environmental manager Chris van Zyl said they are excited about the win. “We have a very extensive recycling programme at the Vineyard, and we are constantly making efforts to reduce our landfill by coming up with innovative ways of recycling and reusing materials.
Currently, the Vineyard recycles 92% of the waste generated by the hotel and only about 8% ends up in landfills, and we will continue to explore and implement innovative measures to help us reduce this even further.”
