The resort will serve both carbonated and stilled water. According to Khoh Soo Oon, Area Hygiene and Sanitation Manager, the new bottling plant is set up based on ‘Ministry of Health Packaged Drinking Water’ licensing requirement and in compliance with Food Hygiene Regulations 2009. Amelia Lim, Corporate Social Responsibility Executive, said, "The setting up of the resort in-house bottling plant is a quantum leap towards a more sustainable future. We will be able to reduce the number of plastic bottles which we have to recycle, which in turn will reduce the energy required to turn the recycled material into a new form." "Our sister properties in Sabah, Tanjung Aru Resort and Rasa Ria Resort have already set up their own in-house plants and it is also timely that our Penang resorts do so. We hope to be able to pioneer and promote self sustainability among Penang hotels," said Elaine Yue, General Manager, Shangri-La’s Rasa Sayang Resort and Spa, Penang. Additionally, other green measures are undertaken in the resort’s daily operations to minimise the impact on the environment.
