Making its mark

Style and sustainability have long united at Soneva Fushi, a pioneering Maldivian resort that has set the bar high when it comes to conserving the patch of paradise it calls home. Its newest initiative is Makers’ Place, a carbon-neutral island studio that recycles waste plastic and aluminium into works of art, practical objects and building materials. Within its first three days of operation, the studio processed 15,000 aluminium cans alone, creating a new life for these once-discarded materials and removing them from the ecosystem. soneva.com
