There is another aspect you absolutely must know: it’s called Ecolabel, the European Union’s ecological quality mark that distinguishes products and services ensuring high performance standards with a reduced environmental impact.
In 2018, MuMA obtained the European Union’s Ecolabel and in November 2020, it was awarded the National Emas – Ecolabel Prize by the Ministry for the Environment with the following motivation:
“A facility that has formulated a proposal for tourism that combines hospitality, education, sustainability, and enhancement of the territory, where guests are welcomed in a museum, the Museo del Mare e dei Maestri d’Ascia, and stay in a Centre for Environmental Education.”
At MuMA, you will notice a particular environmental awareness among the staff, as well as a focus on raising environmental awareness among guests, water and energy saving, waste separation, waste reduction, use of local products, and respect for the territory.
Support us in our daily commitment to the environment:
Water saving: change of sheets and towels every 3 nights, flow reducers in taps (same comfort, but with 30% reduced consumption)
Waste separation: elimination of disposable products in rooms and at breakfast, toilet paper and printing paper with Ecolabel (or low environmental impact), waste separation in common areas.
Energy saving: exclusive use of LED or energy-saving bulbs, use of light timers in passage areas, use of high-efficiency air conditioners.
