ECOLOGICAL COMPOST TOILETS

At Eco-Hotel and Restaurant Mayachik’, we consider the optimization of water resources as a fundamental part of our sustainability-oriented philosophy. To achieve this goal, we have implemented an innovative sanitation system known as “eco-friendly dry toilets.” This unconventional approach not only minimizes water consumption but also incorporates an effective treatment method that allows us to avoid generating black wastewater. This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to environmentally responsible practices and contributes significantly to the sustainable management of water resources.

GREY WATER

At Eco-Hotel and Restaurant Mayachik’, we believe that wastewater deserves a mechanism for reduction, treatment, and reuse, which is why we have worked on a handmade system to integrate them into our irrigation system for the surrounding environment.

The greywater treatment system is based on an agroecological technique that essentially directs the liquid through absorption wells surrounded by banana plantations. These plantations transform and utilize the chemical components that come from gray wastewater.

RAINWATER COLLECTION

At Eco-Hotel and Restaurant Mayachik’, we believe that rainwater harvesting is an essential process involving the capture and storage of water that falls during precipitation. The primary objective is to optimize water sustainability by harnessing a natural source, allowing us to collect 68% of the rainwater from the sheet metal roofs of the establishment.

Our implementation includes the use of a rainwater harvesting system specifically designed for cleaning purposes and irrigating vegetables on the premises of Eco-Hotel and Restaurant Mayachik’. This rainwater harvesting system is seamlessly integrated into our sustainability-focused philosophy. Thus, at Eco-Hotel and Restaurant Mayachik’, rainwater collection emerges as an essential component to achieve our goals of environmental responsibility and efficiency in water resource utilization.

RECYCLING

In our hotel, sustainability and environmental respect are fundamental values that guide our daily operations. With a strong commitment to reducing our environmental impact, we have formed partnerships that enable us to mitigate the impact of our waste, giving them a second chance at life.

We work closely with a network of women recyclers in the Atitlán Lake Basin, called “Atitlán Recicla.” This is an initiative by the Friends of the Lake Association that strengthens the processes of proper management of recyclable solid waste in 12 municipalities in the Sololá department.

Not only do we contribute to the management of our waste, but we also boost the economy through this program, allowing pioneering women to generate economic income for themselves and their families.
