But Maldives isn’t your usual destination.
The resort’s carpentry team uses it to make furniture, which guests can commission and get shipped home. Though the amount of plastic processed is small in the grand scheme of things, Dixon says it’s important to remind visitors of the issues faced by Maldives while also working with the local communities to address such challenges.
