LUX* South Ari Atoll Resort &
Villas, recently awarded Leading Eco-Friendly Resort in the Maldives at the
South Asian Travel Awards 2019, presents their latest sustainability
initiatives: Edible straws, biodegradable cups and plant-based "beef".
The biodegradable
straws, made from cooked rice flour, tapioca starch and water, can last up to
one hour before they soften and eventually dissolve.
Coffee
lovers can also have their favourite ice blends to-go in a biodegradable bamboo
cup at the resorts signature Café LUX*. Made of bamboo fibre with
biodegradable silicone lids that are dishwasher-friendly, these cups are also in their retail shop for
guests to bring home
a piece of eco-friendly memento of their tropical getaway.
Embraced by
leading brands, tech companies and major news media, the plant-based protein,
formally known as Beyond Burgerâ„¢ is now available at three of the resorts
eight restaurants to provide
additional vegan and kosher
options.
