This resort has found innovative ways to improve eco efficiency by reducing their carbon footprint, improving water efficiency and reducing waste. Integrating solar hot water and composting all of their food waste by using a bioBin (the first Resort in Australia to implement this) are only the tip of the iceberg of their actions.  Recycling has increased with reductions of waste by 41% over the past 24 months, major water reductions by increased water efficiency through rain water harvesting for use in swimming pool top up and irrigation. There have also been significant inroads into reducing energy usage in air-conditioning and lighting. The Resort acknowledges that it is both a major consumer of utilities and waste generator; however they are committed to lessen their environmental impact on the environment whilst contributing to the sustainability of the Biosphere. The Resort is situated within the boundaries of the Noosa Biosphere and has also been chosen as the pilot Resort for the worldwide Starwood Hotels And Resorts 'Make a Green Choice' program".

Sheraton Noosa Resort and Spa are one of the twelve partners on the Sunshine Coast of the State Government's ecoBiz program.
