There is another aspect that you will be familiar with: it is called Ecolabel, the European Union ecological quality label that distinguishes products and services that guarantee high standards of performance against a reduced environmental impact.
In 2018, MuMA was awarded the European Union’s Ecolabel and in November 2020 it was honoured with the Emas – Ecolabel National Award by the Ministry for the Environment with the following motivation:
“A structure that developed a tourism proposal that combines hospitality, education, sustainability and enhancement of the territory, and in which guests are welcomed in a museum, the Museum of the Sea and the Shipwrights, and stay in an Environmental Education Centre.”
At the MuMA you will notice particular attention to waste separation, water and energy savings, use of local products and the environmental awareness of our guests.
Support us in our daily commitment to the environment:
- Water saving: sheets and towels changed every 3 days, flow reducer in the taps (same comfort, but with consumption reduced by 30%)
- Waste separation: elimination of disposable products in the rooms and at breakfast, toilet paper and Ecolabel printing paper (or with low environmental impact), waste separation in common areas
- Energy saving: exclusive use of LED or energy-saving bulbs, use of light timers in walk-through areas, use of energy-efficient air conditioners.
