A taste of plastic freedom

The journey to plastic freedom is made of many journeys. Here is just one of them.
Every year, we eliminate more than 1.5 million bottles by bottling our own drinking water in reusable glass bottles. This video illustrates a day in the life of a Six Senses glass bottle. It was just one of many bottles that made its way out of the refinery that day, and it is just one day in one bottle’s long life.
As a leading sustainability pioneer within the hospitality industry, Six Senses has set an audacious goal towards plastic freedom and committed to weaving long-term positive change into the fabric of every Six Senses property. In 2021, Six Senses was the first hospitality brand to collaborate with the United States Coalition on Sustainability and SustainChain™ as part of an ambitious Plastic Free 2022 strategy to remove and avoid all virgin plastic materials from its hotel and spa operations.
“When the world woke up to plastic straws, we realized we need to go much further to continue to lead on sustainability in the hospitality industry, so back in 2017, we set the audacious goal of eliminating all unnecessary plastics,” says Jeff Smith, VP of Sustainability at Six Senses. “This journey began with an inventory of all remaining plastics, once straws and bottles had been eliminated, and now continues with supplier engagement, seeking natural materials, and adopting circular solutions. Our solution to plastic waste is to avoid it before it happens.”

You’re amazing!!!!! I just got through watching your magnesium oil video! It is so good. I was so excited to see that you were a doctor of Chinese medicine and an acupuncturist. I am actually starting school next week to become a doctor of Oriental medicine myself. I am really inspired by your videos. I hope you create a new ones soon.
