RETHINKING WASTE MANAGEMENT FOR A SUSTAINABLE HOSPITALITY EXPERIENCE
Every year, an astonishing one-third of the world’s food, around 1.3 billion tons, ends up wasted (The World Counts, 2024). This staggering amount of food loss not only highlights a significant global issue but also contributes to pressing environmental challenges.
At Mantis Kivu Marina Bay Hotel, we recognize the importance of addressing food waste head-on and are committed to finding innovative solutions that make a difference from Kitchen Scraps to Happy Chickens.
Instead of tossing leftover food, we’ve found an eco-friendly approach: we feed it to our flock of 100 happy chickens! This sustainable practice not only reduces waste but also allows us to provide our guests with fresh, organic eggs that come straight from our farm to their table.Â
Our chickens are key to our sustainable approach. After every meal, we collect leftover food, chop it up, and let it dry in the sun. This turns our kitchen scraps into healthy chicken feed that’s free from any added salt, sugar, or spices. The result? Strong, healthy chickens that lay fresh, delicious eggs for our guests to enjoy.
This simple but powerful initiative has a big impact. By reducing the amount of food waste that goes to landfills, we’re helping to lower harmful greenhouse gases. At the same time, our chickens get a tasty, natural diet, and our guests get to enjoy eggs that are as fresh as can be. It’s a win-win for everyone, including our planet. Besides, by reducing our reliance on external feed sources, we strengthen local food systems and contribute to a more sustainable way of living.
As a Mantis property, we’re passionate about creating unforgettable experiences for our guests while promoting environmental stewardship. We invite you to visit our chickens during your stay and learn more about how we turn food waste into a valuable resource. Not only does this practice support our local ecosystem, but it also adds a special touch to your breakfast, knowing that the eggs you enjoy come from our dedicated farming initiative.Â
