ECO FRIENDLY	Taj Exotica is luxury with a conscience. Its main initiatives aims to protect the natural tropical flora and fauna and surrounding blue waters of Emboodhu Finolhu island and to ultimately reduce its carbon foot print...read more> To reduce energy and diesel fuel consumption, a unique hot water system, which instead of using electric geysers, uses three DG sets (Diesel Generator Cooking Paths) was installed to assist in heat recovery and reduce diesel output. Along with the installation of insulated pipes all around the island, pumping the water around at a constant pressure of 2kg, the result is an annual saving of 109500 litres of diesel. To reduce water consumption and plastic waste, the property has activated a rain water harvesting system with the yearly collection of 896000 litres. Taj Exotica has a bottling plant on site; the 'Classic Crystal' tropical bottling system, produces both sparkling and still water and reuses glass bottles, thus saving on the usage of tens of thousands of plastic bottles each year. Also, many species of trees and plants, including Jade Tree, Sea Hibiscus and Malikuruva rose, located on Emboodhu Finolhu island, are endemic species and do not require any additional watering which saves the resort an extra requirement of 10,000 litres of water per day. Metal is recycled (which is rare in the Maldives) and have resulted in a daily saving of 1,045,987 watts of energy and a 22% reduction in daily carbon dioxide emission. The commitment of the staff to the principles of environment sustainability has been recognised and endorsed by the prestigious Green Globe Certified Silver Status - the second highest level of Green Globe's benchmarking, certification and performance improvement system in the travel and tourism industry. In addition to the sustainable operation of the property, Taj Exotica is the only dive centre in the Maldives which is a PADI Project AWARE ECO Operator & Official Partner. All eco operators and official partners are selected to demonstrate a commitment to conservation, whilst providing guests with experiences which will enhance the visitor awareness, appreciation and understanding of the environment.
