Sustainability at Peppers Craigieburn Bowral

Here at Peppers Craigieburn Bowral, 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

As part of our ongoing efforts, 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.

Food Waste

At Peppers Craigieburn Bowral, we are committed to reducing food wastage and promoting sustainable practices across our food and beverage outlets and conferencing department. We strive to minimise our environmental impact while delivering exceptional culinary experiences by:

  • Implementing a Seasonal menu
  • Engaging local Southern Highland suppliers

Recycling

At Peppers Craigieburn Bowral, all hotel waste is separated into co-mingle, cardboard, bottles, 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 including:

  • Installing water-saving fixtures such as low-flow showerheads and faucets
  • Utilising rainwater harvesting systems for irrigation, our grounds and Golf course.
  • Partnering with local suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability, ensuring that our procurement processes support eco-friendly practices.
