Showers for a Greener Future

Reducing plastic waste with refillable dispensers

Rethink, Refill, Reduce

Replacing single-use bottles with eco-friendly solutions.

 

Soap Dispensers – rather than single-use tubes.

Where I saw Soap Dispensers – Katrina, the boys, and I took a short getaway, and while we were away, I paid close attention to how other accommodation providers operate. Many of the ideas we use at Bimbi Park come from guest suggestions or inspiration from other places. At this particular motel, they didn’t have the typical little bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and soap. Instead, they used soap dispensers in the shower and over the hand basin. What a brilliant idea! It cuts down on waste by eliminating those half-used plastic bottles that often end up in landfill.

When We Got Back To Bimbi Park This Is What We Did

Soap Dispensers

46% of the product went to the rubish - LAND FILL

We collected all the used bottles from the cabins to see how much is wasted. Out of 58 used bottles that I collected only 54% of the product was used. This means that 46% of the product, the bottle, the label, and the cap were going into landfill.

Soap Dispensers

One Bulk Tub = 1388 small tubes

Therefore, each guest uses 10.8ml of shampoo, 10.8ml of conditioner, and 10.8ml of shower gel. A 15-litre tub of bulk product is the equivalent of 1388 little bottles, lids and labels.

Soap Dispensers - Environmentally great

The Dispensers

We searched the internet for pump packs and found lots of them. We went with The Dispenser company as they had good quality lockable dispensers.
You can get non-lockable ones for home use.

Conclusion:

In Australia, we experience 404 million visitor nights spent in cabins, motels, and hotels each year. When you think about that figure, it’s shocking to realize how many half-used little shampoo and conditioner bottles are tossed aside and end up in landfill. Each tiny bottle may seem insignificant on its own, but when multiplied by millions of stays, the environmental impact becomes enormous. This highlights the urgent need for more sustainable practices in the hospitality industry, such as transitioning to refillable dispensers, to reduce plastic waste and protect our planet for future generations.

This is the most wonderful camping ground and caravan park! Different types of accommodation to suit everyone. I stayed in an old style caravan. I stayed in an old style caravan. It was such a... delight, clean, super comfortable bed with donna and hotel style linen, nice and warm everything you needed in the kitchen. The toilet block was immaculately clean. The wildlife was wonderful and so was the service. I highly recommend this magical place.read more

We used a powered site. The amenities are modern and clean. The manager is both friendly and a great source of ideas for activities. We spent four nights there and that was barely time to explore... this beautiful area. Highly recommended. PS We could see the self contained units and they looked terrific.read more

Well, some other parks may have more facilities or larger campground. This park was so much more natural and beautiful. Additionally, all of the facilities were clean and bright and usable. To top... that off, doing the koala hunt every day was the highlight of our entire journey. we managed to find Koalas and we checked on half of them Multiple times every day to see how they were doing. I would recommend this park to everyone!read more
We've stayed here twice now and loved it. Quiet spot away from the busy-ness of the Great Ocean Road. Spotted 14 Koalas too! A relaxing spot with easy day trips to waterfalls and not far from Apollo... Bay.read more

We recently enjoyed a delightful visit to Bimbi Park with our family. The park is impeccably maintained, seamlessly blending the beauty of nature with comfort. Our accommodations were clean and cozy,... making us feel at home. The area was both tranquil and secure, perfect for family activities. The bushwalking trails were a highlight, featuring breathtaking views and being easily navigable for children. Additionally, the staff was exceptionally friendly and supportive. We faced a car issue during our stay, and the staff went above and beyond to assist us, using their vehicle to charge our car's battery. They ensured our problem was resolved before leaving, which we greatly appreciated. We highly recommend Bimbi Park for a family retreat that offers both relaxation and adventure in a peaceful environment.read more
