Preserve Pipa and sustainable practices in the region.

Environmental sustainability practices are essential for the maintenance of life and have been a topic of great importance to Preserve Pipa for some time. With new initiatives, the trend is to make the Pipa region even cleaner and more pleasant for residents and tourists.

The Pipa beaches, in Tibau do Sul, Rio Grande do Norte, are one of the main tourist spots in the country. Therefore, they receive many visitors from abroad, especially during the seasons.

For this reason, concern is growing about the collection of waste that is left on the beaches and the search for new initiatives and sustainability practices since the region has several marine animals that are from the area.

Water bottles with 20% less plastic

In partnership with Stern Bom, Preserve Pipa launches a personalized water bottle with 20% less plastic. Important initiative for local sustainability.

Being part of the Brazilian northeast, the Pipa region is one of the fastest growing tourist spots in the country. Therefore, it receives numerous visitors each year, which generates a huge production of water bottle waste.

After all, the climate with high temperatures favors this type of consumption which, when disposed of incorrectly, causes serious environmental damage.

It is estimated that plastic takes about 400 years to decompose naturally. Furthermore, many of these bottles end up in the sea, littering the beaches and harming local marine life.

Water bottles from Preserve Pipa in association with Stern Bom not only have less plastic but also reduce more easily in size and also in volume when sealed, after empty.

Collection of bottles in EcoPontos and traceability

Although it has less plastic, the concern for the proper disposal of these bottles is of interest to the project. For this reason, Preserve Pipa, since April 28, is responsible for offering the option of selective collection of generated waste, in alliance with the Amarez Collectors Association.

Thus, the bottles will be collected through the EcoPonto and will also have a traceability certificate. This certificate certifies that they were not sent to the common landfill of the region, but for recycling.

Therefore, the traceability issued by AMAREZ will certify that Preserve Pipa will guarantee that recyclable materials are sent to environmentally correct destinations. In this way, the environment is preserved and the region's beaches are cleaned.

This certification will be valid for one year and will be renewed annually.

Total mobilization in favor of sustainability

Initially, Preserve Pipa arose with the objective of maintaining and preserving the Ecological Sanctuary. A private park that covers some 90 hectares of green space and is considered the heart of the region.

However, over time the movement gained strength, also acting in the preservation of the environment, sustainability projects and dissemination of the destination to tourists. Preserve Pipa also participates in investment actions related to infrastructure, with a focus on the Praia de Pipa, Tibau do Sul and Sibaúma regions.

It also has the support of Pipa Limpa to carry out environmental education for employees associated with Preserve Pipa hotels and restaurants. Therefore, they help to encourage sustainable behavior in the region.

In addition, it serves the purpose of ASHTEP (Association of Hoteliers of Tibau do Sul and Pipa) in the fight for the preservation of the tourist village in the region. Thus, these associated companies are placing EcoPontos from Preserve Pipa within their establishments, in order to strengthen this idea and raise awareness about the correct disposal of the waste generated.
