Sustainability at BreakFree Grand Pacific

Here at BreakFree Grand Pacific we are committed to embedding sustainability into every facet of our daily operations. We recognise that sustainability is an ongoing journey and are continually striving to reduce our carbon footprint wherever possible. Below are some of the initiatives we have implemented to date.

Large Amenities

As part of our ongoing efforts, we have made the proactive decision to move to large format amenities, replacing our single-use plastic common amenities with eco-friendly pump dispensers throughout the hotel. By eliminating single-use plastic bottles, we are significantly reducing the amount of waste generated by our operations. This commitment aligns with our dedication to environmental stewardship and reflects our ongoing efforts to improve sustainability in all aspects of our hotel.

Recycling

All hotel waste at BreakFree Grand Pacific is separated into co-mingle, cardboard and general waste, minimising our impact on landfill.  In addition, we have taken several steps to further reduce water and embrace a circular system.

  • All single-use plastic water bottles have been removed.
  • Containers for change bins are spread across the hotel, working closely with a local company.
  • Stock for the hotel is ordered in bulk to minimise packaging wastage.

Acknowledgement of Country

BreakFree Grand Pacific acknowledges and supports the original custodians of the land in which we operate, the Kabi Kabi people. We pay our respects to the Elders past, present and emerging, for they hold the memories, the traditions and the culture that presents in the Caloundra and Sunshine Coast community today.
