WHY IT’S IMPORTANT
The plastic-free movement has grown to encompass all kinds of food serviceware, and it is important to anticipate how your event might be impacted by these policies. By implementing reusable alternatives, you can lead the charge and feed hungry sailors without single-use plastics.
HOW TO DO IT
- Provide reusable dinnerware. If you don’t have your own facility or supplies, companies such as r.World and Turn provide reusable cups and other servicewear for events to meet their zero waste goals. Once guests are done, they return the items for the company to pick up to sanitize and bring to the next event.
- Encourage participants to bring their own mess kit – such as their own drink cup, bowl, and utensils.
- If you must use single-use items, consider ones that are easily compostable, such as wooden ones. Beware of bioplastic alternatives that need commercial composting facilities to break down.
- Register your event and download the Clean Regattas Toolkit for more information!
