The name Papaya Playa Project is congruent with our mission to constantly seek to improve our natural surroundings, our community, and ourselves. We have therefore put into action an ambitious art, sustainability and social responsibility project to lead a more conscious operation and to inspire others to do the same. Our project focuses on many key areas, such as solar energy, water treatment and recycling, gardening and plantations, local sourcing, fair trade, responsible construction, material recycling, and community involvement to reach our sustainability and social responsibility objectives. This is a project managed using measurable and accountable standards which demonstrate continuous improvement. Our goal is a totally sustainable project that is of true benefit to the region and community, promote a holistic and spiritual life, and consciously accept responsibility for Nature and our Community. Simply put, to the Papaya Playa Project, sustainability is everything. It means the protection of a healthy biodiversity and vibrant life for future generations and integrity for the current one. Sustainability also means Papaya Playa finding the best methods to support the local economy by interacting with locals and the traditional artisans as partners in the management of our natural resources and our relationship with Nature. Since our foundation, we launched our mission to achieve a ”zero emissions and zero contamination community”. Since then, we have been learning and working with passion and conviction with a team of experts implementing proven technologies, changing paradigms and administrating better energy sources to the point where today we have achieved “zero aquifer contamination, and reduced carbon emissions by almost 66% in comparison to pre-emission levels”.
