Environmental Sustainability
Overview
Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa, a longtime leader in sustainable practices in the hospitality industry, was the first resort hotel in the state of Hawai‘i to earn its LEED-EBOM certification at the GOLD level. When originally certified, in 2014, the Hyatt Regency Maui was one of only four resorts in the world with this distinction.
We remain committed to our goal to reduce the impact we have on Maui’s natural resources. In 2020, the hotel earned the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) TRUE Waste Precertification and is the first resort in Hawaii and first large-scale beach resort in the world to achieve this distinction, which acknowledges our efforts and goals in becoming a truly green, zero-waste facility.
Carbon Emissions and Water
At our Maui hotel, we have implemented many sustainability programs to reduce emissions and water use including:
- Installed a 710kW solar photovoltaic system on our rooftop.
- Retrofitted all 810 guestrooms with high-efficiency shower heads with flow rates.
- Replaced water closets in guestrooms with water efficient fixtures.
- Use of municipally treated greywater and hand-watering for irrigation for landscaping.
- Electric vehicle charging stations on-site.
Waste and Circularity
Our Maui hotel’s efforts to go green extend to our waste practices.
- Water stations located throughout the resort hotel coupled with the reusable and recyclable water bottles provided in the guestrooms reduce single use plastic water bottle usage.
- We have a comprehensive three-bin waste diversion system in place in all common areas.
- Food scraps are composted or given to local Maui pig farmers who repurpose it for livestock feed.
- All straws and to-go food containers and utensils are compostable.
- We diverted over 2,500 tons of waste away from the landfill during our 2020 hotel renovation and refurbished over 350 cast iron tubs.
- Our hotel pool is heated with the help of recirculating water through a condenser loop.
Our Food Philosophy
Our philosophy: Hyatt's Food. Thoughtfully Sourced. Carefully Served.
Built on the foundation of providing food and beverage options that are good for people, the planet and communities, we source island grown food and locally caught and raised fish as much as possible. We source from responsible vendors and serve cage-free eggs.
