Sustainability at Mantra Parramatta

At Mantra Parramatta, 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. Instead, guests can request biodegradable 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 Parramatta, we are committed to reducing food wastage and promoting sustainable practices across our food and beverage outlets and conferencing department. We understand the importance of minimising our environmental impact while delivering exceptional culinary experiences to our guests.

  • Weighing food waste 4x per month to ensure reduction protocols are effective
  • Implementation of waste reduction strategies including seasonal menu, local suppliers and ordering policy
  • Buffet leftovers placed in staff lunch room for team members

Recycling

At Mantra Parramatta, 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.

  • Use local suppliers to support local economy and limit transportation emissions
  • Bulk Ordering to minimise delivery frequency
  • Removal of all single use plastics or substituted with biodegradable alternatives

Community Support

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

  • Engaged with Local MP on community activations
  • Engage and support local sporting teams
  • Provide support to local charities such as Parramatta Mission and ParraParents
