## Jetwing Hotels Showcases Zero-Waste Luxury for Sustainable Gastronomy Day 📈

• Jetwing Hotels hosted 'Elementally Plated', a curated live-plated culinary event at Black Coral, Jetwing Beach, Negombo, to mark Sustainable Gastronomy Day. • The initiative highlights Jetwing’s five-decade commitment to responsible tourism, sustainability, and circular economy thinking within Sri Lanka's vital hospitality and tourism sector. • Key features of the sustainable dining model include: Zero-Waste Focus: Utilizes often-discarded parts of ingredients (e.g., carrot top pesto, dehydrated vegetable trimming "soil", and a salad utilizing gotukola stems instead of leaves). Local Sourcing: Emphasizes Sri Lankan produce, seafood, and ingredients to minimize import reliance, directly supporting local farmers, fisherfolk, and small-scale producers. Circular Practices: Extends sustainable sourcing from the kitchen to the bar's mixology, focusing on minimizing waste and celebrating national biodiversity.
