Sustainability at Mantra on Jolimont

At Mantra on Jolimont, 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

At Mantra on Jolimont, we understand the importance of preserving our planet for future generations and have made a significant decision to eliminate single-use dry amenities. By removing single-use plastic amenities such as toothbrushes, combs, and shower caps from our guest rooms, we are taking a bold step towards a plastic-free environment. Instead, guests can request bamboo 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.

Food Waste

At Mantra on Jolimont, we are committed to reducing food wastage and promoting sustainable practices across our food and beverage outlet. We understand the importance of minimising our environmental impact while delivering exceptional culinary experiences to our guests.

  • Optimised Ordering Policy: We have implemented a precise ordering policy to ensure we purchase only what is necessary, reducing excess and spoilage.
  • Employee Training: Regularly training our kitchen staff on best practices for reducing food waste, including proper storage techniques and creative uses for leftover ingredients.

Recycling

At Mantra on Jolimont, all hotel waste is separated into co-mingle, cardboard, 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.

  • Local Suppliers: We prioritise purchasing from local suppliers to reduce transportation emissions and support the local economy.
  • Removal of Single-Use Plastics: We have eliminated single-use plastic water bottles and cups, providing guests with refillable water stations throughout the hotel.

Community Support

We are committed to maintaining strong connections with our local community and give back wherever possible.

  • Celebrating Indigenous Heritage: We acknowledge and pay respect to the traditional owners of the land on which our hotel resides, the Wurundjeri people.
  • Partnerships with Local Businesses: We partner with local businesses to promote the unique offerings of Melbourne and contribute to the local economy.
