The resort recycles vegetable oil from their kitchens to make 100% bio diesel . The resort produces between 200 to 400 liters per day. The dry coconut that is used to create the bio diesel is sourced from the local Samui community. The benefit of the creation of the bio-diesel is two-fold: The money made from the sale of the dry coconut is ploughed back into the local economy, it provides a sustainable energy LINK source locally. The resort uses its own bio diesel for the host truck, the gardener truck and the onsite fogging machine. several purposes including the gardener truck, fogging machine and host truck.
The resort also creates their own bio-gas which is derived from turning the resorts composted waste which is a mixture of leaves from the resort's jungle and the resort’s sewage water to create bio-gas. The bio-gas is then used to power the water pump in the nursery area.
