Boardwalk Boutique Hotel Guests Invited to Join The Pipe and Save Marine Life
As part of Boardwalk’s Do-Good Program, every arriving hotel guest receives a reusable water bottle as a complimentary gift. These recycled water bottles are made from sugarcane and part of a worldwide initiative called Join The Pipe, committed to a world with less plastic waste. A mission that resonates with Boardwalk Boutique Hotels’ mission to support sustainable practices, reduce waste, and protect the environment.
By providing hotel guests with a reusable water bottle and informing island visitors that Aruba’s tap water is safe and delicious to drink, Boardwalk discourages the use of single-use plastic bottles. Since launching the Join The Pipe initiative at Boardwalk in October 2022, a total of 3,119 guests have been provided with the reusable bottles, thus saving marine life, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and reducing waste in Aruba’s landfill.
Guests are informed of Aruba’s high quality drinking water by signage placed next to the tab in each casita, and at the main entrance of the property, guests can fill up their bottles at the Join The Pipe water station. In addition to contributing to a better marine life in Aruba and the local environment by using the reusable water bottles, the international organization Join The Pipe uses its proceeds to set up drinking water and clean-up projects in developing countries. For clean drinking water, healthy living conditions and to tackle plastic pollution at its source.
