We all produce waste. It’s only when we are confronted with dealing with it that we start to understand the scale of the problem. On Aotea, we think a bit more about waste than the average destination. Aotea is on a waste minimisation mission. You can read more about this on the zero-waste page.

Each household and business deals with its own grey water and sewerage, making sure it’s disposed of correctly and without harm to our pristine environment. At most accommodations, you won’t even notice this; in a few places there are composting toilets, like in the campgrounds and huts. You’ll easily find this information on each listing in our accommodation section.
