SIYAM WORLD JOINS FORCES WITH CLEANMALDIVES UNDER THE PLEASE PROJECT TO TACKLE PLASTIC WASTE WITH INNOVATIVE YEAR-LONG RECYCLING INITIATIVE
Siyam World Maldives is proud to announce its collaboration with CLEANMaldives under the PLEASE Project (Plastic Free Rivers and Seas for South Asia), further strengthening its commitment to sustainability as part of Sun Siyam's resort-wide Sun Siyam Cares initiatives. This year-long pilot project, supported by organizations such as UNOPS, the World Bank, , SACEP, CLEANMaldives and Climate Collective Foundation , aims to address plastic waste while setting a new standard for innovative recycling solutions in the Maldives. The focus also lies on reducing single-use plastics by recycling plastic waste on-site into durable, eco-friendly furniture, including benches and loungers.
With the use of advanced recycling technology provided by CLEANMaldives solution provider Econscious, Siyam World is pioneering a circular economy model that showcases the potential for scalable sustainability solutions. The project combines Siyam World's operational excellence with Econscious' technical expertise.
The resort provides the infrastructure, oversees operations, and ensures efficient waste collection, while CLEANMaldives supplies cutting-edge machinery and delivers technical training to resort staff.
Together, this partnership demonstrates how collaboration can drive impactful environmental change within the hospitality sector. Complementing ongoing efforts in areas such as coral conservation, renewable energy projects, and waste management, the PLEASE Project underscores Siyam World's commitment to creating a positive environmental legacy.
Reflecting on this initiative, Ausy Waseem, Resort Manager at Siyam World, stated: ' To truly address plastic waste, we wanted to be part of a solution that is impactful, comprehensive, and beneficial to everyone. This aligns with Mr. Siyam's philosophy of pursuing meaningful actions rather than resorting to greenwashing or empty promises.'
The year-long PLEASE Project represents an important step toward addressing the plastic waste crisis. It serves as a blueprint for other Small Island Developing States (SIDS) and businesses in the tourism sector to adopt innovative, scalable solutions that promote environmental stewardship and sustainability.
