A Sustainable Initiative: The Atlantis Atlas Project
Retropop Lifestyle|Retropop Lifestyle June-July 2023
This World Oceans Day, Atlantis Dubai celebrates the two-year anniversary of the Atlantis Atlas Project, the cornerstone of its overall commitment to contribute to sustainable and responsible tourism. Over the past 12 months, the implementation of green investments totaling half a million US dollars has resulted in significant change to help reduce waste and emissions and facilitate a more responsible operation.
A Sustainable Initiative: The Atlantis Atlas Project

Tim Kelly, Executive Vice President and Managing Director, Atlantis Dubai said: “We are proud to share the outcome of the second year of the Atlantis Atlas Project, our ongoing commitment to sustainable development. Through the efforts of our dedicated Atlantis colleagues, we have achieved some incredible results and are creating a legacy of environmental stewardship as we aim to do business in ways that are good for both people and the planet.”

Responsible Operations

Reducing waste and energy consumption remains a critical focus of the Atlantis Atlas Project. The implementation of the Winnow AI technology to help reduce food waste across buffet operations has seen a 40% reduction in food waste to landfill over the past 12 months. Since the inception of the on-site water filtration and bottling plant – which supplies all rooms and restaurant outlets with safe, clean filtered drinking water in the form of refillable glassware – 2,020,908 plastic water bottles have been replaced since July 2022 to date, and the destination is on track to eliminate all single-use plastic water bottles by the end of 2023. This commitment was made in February 2022 in support of Dubai Can, a sustainability initiative by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai. In addition, 2,178 solar panels were installed across Atlantis, The Palm to provide renewable energy generating 720,445kWh of renewable electricity in 5 months, which is a C02 saving of 310 tons.
