SPARKLING WATER MACHINE REPLACES BOTTLED WATER
Nearly 500 billion plastic bottles are discarded worldwide every year, severely impacting the coastal environment of Penghu due to the monsoon-driven ocean currents. Discovery Hotel has introduced eco-friendly and energy-saving water dispensers, sparkling water machines, and glass bottles to replace plastic bottled water. As of 2025, these efforts have reduced the use of nearly 1 million plastic bottles and cut approximately 200 metric tons of carbon emissions. Thank you for joining us in reducing plastic waste and protecting our planet!
REDUCING TOILETRIES
Taiwan generates about 8,000 tonnes of plastic waste each year from hotel toiletries, putting a strain on the environment. We use large-capacity toiletries in the guest rooms and offer green travel and eco-friendly lodging program as we invite each traveler to bring their own toiletries and, reducing plastic use and loving the Earth.
ENERGY SAVING
In addition to participating annually in Earth Hour organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), the hotel also reduced lighting usage through adopting large floor-to-ceiling windows and progressively replacing conventional lighting fixtures with energy-saving lighting. As a result, electricity consumption per person has decreased by 3% in 2025 as compared with the previous period. In the future, 2025 will serve as the baseline year for measuring energy-saving performance, with a target of achieving an additional 1–3% reduction annually.
GREEN DINING AND SUSTAINABLE DIET
What is from Penghu is for Penghu; we give priority to the use of local food ingredients for the promotion of green sustainable dining, and other than providing vegetarian meals and recommending meals with reduced food waste, single-use tableware is not offered unless requested in order to help implement sustainable environmental protection. In 2025, the proportion of local food ingredients has already reached 32.9% and is expected to reach above 33% in 2026.
SORTING RECYCLABLES TO KEEP PENGHU CLEAN
Committed to sustainable tourism, the hotel implements waste sorting and recycling, repurposing reusable materials into supplies for hotel activities. Through sustainability education, beach adoption initiatives, and community outreach programs, we continue to promote environmental education and social engagement among both employees and guests. From 2024 to 2025, we have carried out a total of 40 environmental sustainability initiatives and 62 community outreach activities.
WATER REUSE
To protect Penghu, the world’s most beautiful bay, we have installed gray water and rainwater recycling systems, collecting rainwater from terraces and guestroom balconies, along with condensate water from air-conditioning systems to use as the primary water source for park irrigation and cleaning purposes.
In 2025, the reuse rate of gray water has already reached 70%, with 70% being the annual target for the recycling and reuse of gray water.
WATER CONSERVATION
There is no mountain and lake, the island is divided by the Tropic of Cancer, and precipitation is far less than what is evaporated. How to conserve water before a drought happens has become a vital issue for the coming generations of Penghu locals. To echo water conservation, If you need to have your bed sheet, duvet covers, or pillow cases changed, please place your eco-card on the bed.
SAVE CORAL REEFS
Global climate change has led to rising ocean temperatures, putting coral reefs at risk of severe depletion and bleaching, which threatens marine ecosystems.
Coral reefs are a vital foundation of marine biodiversity. Join us in rejecting the harvesting and trade of coral reef products to help protect their survival.
