SUSTAINABILITY AS A WAY OF LIFE

Waste, Water & Resource Management
At Bisma Eight, sustainability is not a program — it’s a lifestyle embedded into every aspect of operations. The hotel’s approach is guided by respect for the land, the local community, and Bali’s cultural heritage, ensuring that environmental stewardship and meaningful experiences go hand in hand.
• Zero-plastic operations: Bisma Eight has eliminated single-use plastics across all venues since 2018.
• Eco-enzyme and compost systems: Organic waste is transformed into eco-enzymes and nutrient-rich compost that nourishes gardens and supports organic farming.
• Bio-pore infiltration and greywater recycling: These systems return water to the soil and landscape, reducing waste and supporting lush gardens.
• B3 Waste compliance: Hazardous materials such as bulbs, batteries and oils are safely stored and responsibly managed with licensed vendors.
Local Sourcing & Circular Food Systems
Bisma Eight’s own organic farm, The Conservatory, grows herbs, vegetables and edible flowers for its restaurants, reducing food miles and reinforcing a farm-to-table philosophy. Chefs across dining venues creatively repurpose kitchen byproducts into zero-waste culinary creations
