Recent research has indicated that approximately 220 million tonnes of plastic waste is projected to be generated in 2024, reflecting a 7.11% increase since 2021.
The study, conducted by the charity EA Earth Action and published in April 2024, reveals that over one-third of this plastic waste will be inadequately managed after its lifecycle.
This total represents 68.6 million tonnes of plastic, equating to an average of 28 kilograms of plastic waste per individual worldwide.
It’s disheartening to see such statistics. I genuinely admire golf clubs that go the extra mile to help us golfers transition away from single-use plastic water bottles.
Their efforts create a significant impact on our enjoyment of the game and the environment.
Bluewater has formed an exciting partnership with the GEO Sustainable Golf Foundation, focusing on advancing worldwide sustainability within the golf industry.
This collaboration is set to make a positive impact by tackling single-use plastic pollution and fostering trust in clean drinking water and healthy hydration.
Together, both organizations are committed to protecting the environment and promoting the well-being of individuals, paving the way for a greener and healthier future in golf.
Through this innovative partnership, a portion of every Bluewater refillable bottle sold at golf events and venues worldwide will fund sustainability initiatives in golf.
Each purchase helps golfers cut plastic waste while driving real change in the sport played by over 60 million people globally.
Bluewater’s innovative purification systems effectively remove over 99% of contaminants from local water sources.
After purification, they remineralize, chill, and carbonate the water on-site, ensuring high-quality hydration while significantly reducing plastic waste.
Additionally, their stylish and reusable bottles come with a lifetime guarantee, providing a convenient and eco-friendly refill solution for clubhouses, locker rooms, and spectator areas.
