Fairmont Maldives Sustainability Lab

A hub of eco-education, the Fairmont Maldives Sustainability Lab turns plastic waste into bespoke souvenirs including luggage tags in the shape of turtles, mantas and sharks. After plastic has been collected from the beach, reef, and ocean, they are separated alongside glass and aluminium, before a series of machines are used to shred, melt, shape and press it into various products.
