What makes Paraíso Eco Lodge sustainable?
With this in mind, we incorporated the Roteiros de Charme Code of Ethics and Environmental Conduct into our Standards and Procedures, with which we have been associated since 2012, also applicable to the entire hotel industry, with the following guidelines:
– Ensure the support and participation of the main partners and administrators in the implementation of environmental practices and involve in the program everyone who works or provides services to the company, as well as their families.
– Identify and reduce environmental impacts and risks, even when planning new projects and constructions, aiming at the preservation of the local scenery, fauna and flora.
– Control and reduce the use of products that are adverse to the environment, such as asbestos, CFCs, pesticides and toxic, corrosive, infectious, explosive and flammable materials.
– Respect religious and historical sites and objects, the host population, their cultural values and traditions.
– Conserve energy, eliminating superfluous lighting and using, whenever possible, alternative sources, low consumption lamps and automatic control equipment, such as timers, sensors and thermostats.
– Avoid waste and reduce water consumption, checking for leaks, collecting and taking advantage, when possible, of rainwater, trying to use showers, valves and equipment that enable better control and reduction of your need.
– Adopt the three Rs of environmental awareness: reduce, reuse and recycle. Analyze the demand for recyclable materials and the company’s solid waste flow, identifying the main components of the waste produced, for the purpose of proper storage and recycling. Avoid using disposable products and non-recyclable plastic containers.

We are concerned with sustainability in all facets of the hotel’s operations, promoting good practices to reduce the consumption of water and paper and properly separate all waste.

The mission of the Zero Waste Movement is to show, through information, to all Brazilians regardless of social class, their responsibility and their role in preserving our planet and reaching a level of “zero waste”.
We have a special shower system to improve the water savings in our apartments.
All shower water is treated and recycled for later use in our bathrooms. We optimize how our guests request the change of towels and sheets in the rooms with an information card. After this action, we are having a more conscious and controlled consumption in the laundry.
Indoor lighting systems and public areas are equipped with motion detectors to minimize energy consumption. We use LED technology with up to 80% less consumption compared to conventional lighting.
