NASSAU, Bahamas — Sandals Resorts International (SRI) has gotten a jump on The Bahamas’ 2020 deadline for the elimination of Styrofoam products, as it prepares to rid its local operations and several of its other resorts of the environmentally menacing product by February.
SRI, in a press release issued yesterday, revealed that by February its Bahamas locations — Sandals Royal Bahamian and Sandals Emerald Bay — as well as 19 Sandals and Beaches Resorts throughout the Caribbean will eliminate the use of Styrofoam products.
Sandals said the elimination of Styrofoam is part of its continued effort to protect the environment.
Deputy Chairman of Sandals Resorts International Adam Stewart said in the release that the company has also eliminated many plastic items in keeping with its environmental pledge.
“As we enter the new year, it’s incredibly important to our Sandals family that environmental sustainability remains a key priority,” said Stewart. https://thenassauguardian.com/2019/01/04/sandals-eliminating-use-of-styrofoam-products-by-feb-1/
