La Costa Resort and Spa has been awarded the Green Seal's 2013 Silver distinction certificate for making recent improvements to property and operational systems aimed at conserving resources.
In 2011, La Costa had received the Bronze distinction from Green Seal's environmental certification program. In order to earn the Silver rating as a lodging property, La Costa had to meet the next level's criteria within three years of receiving the Bronze ranking.
Categories for improvement included waste minimization, energy efficiency, fresh water management, waste water management and implementing a purchasing policy that was environmentally and socially sensitive.
La Costa implemented a number of changes in order to meet the criteria for the Silver distinction, including the installation of two liquid ozone machines and an eCorrect Food Waste Decomposition System. The resort's liquid ozone machines create a powerful cleaning solution that is more effective than bleach. The resort's food and beverage services also began utilizing an eCorrect Food Waste Decomposition System, which dehydrates food waste to produce soil that is suitable for landscape use on the golf course and in hotel plant and flowerbeds.
