Sustainable Measures Water use and recycling

RIU has taken measures to ensure the responsible use and management of water, minimising waste and maximising reuse through the use of water saving and recycling systems in hotels.

Water use and management measures • Double flush push buttons on toilets. • Mixing-valve taps in showers that improve temperature regulation. • Efficient showers and toilets with flow reducers and timers. • Replacement of bathtubs with showers in hotels. • Use of typical local plants except for areas next to the pool. • Drip and sprinkler irrigation, with pressure limiters. • Moisture detectors.

• Irrigation when there is less sun to avoid evaporation. • Progressive implementation of a double circuit to reuse soapy water in toilets and for irrigation.
