RS500 Worlds Sustainability Actions

Sustainability is close to our hearts. Just as we sailors harness the natural wind for energy, we are committed to making our event as sustainable as possible. To achieve this, we have implemented the following actions.

Cup

Every participant will receive a cup featuring the event logo. This cup is crafted from cane sugar plastic, a biodegradable material. We kindly request that you use this cup for your beverages during the event. Additional cups can be purchased at the bar.

Bring your own cup policy

Whenever you visit the bar to order a drink, please bring your own cup and place an order for the drink you’d like to purchase.

Recycling policy

We try to use as much as possible recyclable packaging such as:

  • Glass bottles for beer
  • Plastic (PET) bottles for other drinks

Please return your glass bottles to the bar and deposit the PET bottles in the specific plastic bags.

Trash

Please dispose of any other trash in the containers located at various points throughout the venue.

Racing

While racing, please hand any trash to the organization’s boats. Do not throw it into the water, as we are sailing in a natural area
