At Hamanasi, sustainability begins long before a guest arrives. Every product we bring onto our property is carefully considered through the lens of our Green Purchasing Policy.
A Green Purchasing Policy guides businesses in selecting eco-friendly products and services, focusing on environmental impact and human health. Hamanasi’s policy prioritizes local and regional suppliers whenever possible, reducing transportation emissions while strengthening the livelihoods of nearby farmers, fishers, artisans, and service providers. By sourcing locally, we not only lower our carbon footprint but also help keep economic value within the communities that surround us. Like in the image above, our bamboo straws, rice, cacao, cinnamon and coffee are sourced locally and regionally.
Environmental responsibility is another cornerstone of our purchasing decisions. We actively seek products that are durable, reusable, recyclable, biodegradable, or made from recycled content, and we avoid single-use and excessively packaged items whenever alternatives exist.

Hamanasi’s Green Purchasing Policy also supports human health and safety. We work to minimize the use of toxic chemicals by selecting eco-certified, non-toxic, and biodegradable cleaning and maintenance products that protect our staff, guests, and surrounding ecosystems.
In rooms are refillable containers with eco-friendly contents and Belizean-made soaps without plastic wraps.
When purchasing larger items or undertaking development projects, sustainability remains central. We favor materials that are responsibly sourced, long-lasting, and suitable for Belize’s climate, helping reduce maintenance needs and long-term environmental impact.
