<input type="hidden" name="subsecMenu" value="4" />Mandala Spa & Villas, the country's multi-awarded Destination
Spa, was recognized for the second time at the 2007 BCCI
Boracay WOW Awards as the Most Outstanding Business
Establishment Waste Management System.
<br>
The award was presented by the Boracay Chamber of Commerce
Industry (BCCI) at the Patio Pacific last Thursday, December 20, 2007 to Mandala Spa & Villas in recognition of its commitment to helping preserve the island by implementing excellent waste management.
<br>
This is the second year in a row that Mandala Spa & Villas was awarded for doing its part in protecting the natural environment of Boracay.
<br>
Organized by the BCCI and Private Enterprise Accelerated Resource Linkages Phase 2 (Pearl 2), the WOW Awards recognized
the example Mandala Spa has set by incorporating conservation
methods in its daily operations. Aside from the premises being
clean and environment-friendly, trash is segregated, water is
recycled for landscaping and only biodegradable materials are
used.
<br>
The island-wide contest, now on its second year, encourages the use of centers for composting, and recycling and is geared on promoting environmentally-sound waste management.
<br>
Thirty-three Boracay resorts and business establishments participated in the program and were judged on various
criteria -- environmental education for employees; function
and aesthetics of Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs);
operation and monitoring of waste segregation; collection,
composting and recycling schemes; and creativity and
sustainability. <p>
