Waxpol Hotels and Resorts is committed to conservation, eco-tourism, and supporting biodiversity. Some of our key sustainability initiatives include:

  • Waste Management: We minimize waste by segregating it efficiently. Food waste is composted to nourish our gardens, while paper and plastic packaging are sold to kabbadiwalas, promoting a circular economy and reducing landfill contributions.

  • Water Conservation: Our rainwater harvesting systems help conserve water resources, while water saucers across the resort grounds support local wildlife, particularly at The Riverwood Forest Retreat in Dooars.

  • Green Energy: We utilize solar energy across our properties, reducing our carbon footprint and promoting renewable energy usage.

  • Biodiversity and Reforestation: The planting of indigenous trees and fruit trees at our resorts not only enhances the beauty of our retreats but also serves as a crucial food source for local wildlife, supporting biodiversity and the surrounding ecosystem.

  • Butterfly Gardens: Our butterfly gardens provide guests with a unique opportunity to witness regional biodiversity, while contributing to the conservation of local species.
