ecoBiz Partner Biography
Sheraton Noosa's Richard Phillips receiving their ecoBiz Partner certificate from former Minister Jones
Sheraton Noosa is a resort and spa located on the Sunshine Coast. The resorts project (PDF, 169K)* with the assistance of an ecoBiz rebate, had them become the first Australian hotel to install a Biobin ® composting system. Sheraton Noosa uses the Biobin to convert wet waste from their kitchen and restaurant into mulch for local farmers. The Biobin and other waste initiatives have saved the hotel over $45,800 in collection charges. To improve their water and energy efficiency the hotel installed solar water heating, water flow control systems, split system air conditioning and a staff and guest environmental awareness campaign. Read the Sheraton Noosa case study for more information.
