The same applies to the\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Heritage Resort<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0in Mauritius, the\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Sentosa Golf Club<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0in Singapore, the\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Princeville Golf Club<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0in Hawaii and the\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Els Club<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0in Dubai. Golf facilities that rank among the world\u2019s leaders are addressing the plastic problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Disposable plastic is standard\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Until now, there was only one rule on golf courses worldwide: get into the golf cart \u2013 and there it is: The plastic water bottle. Whether in the USA, Thailand, Greece, the United Arab Emirates or Portugal. Service to the golfer means his supply of water for the round. Mind you, water from a plastic bottle. For an 18-hole facility in the Mediterranean or hot climate, one can assume consumption of about 100,000 plastic bottles per year; for 36 holes, 150,000 plastic bottles is an average value. The number is significantly reduced on golf courses without carts because many golfers bring drinks from home. We also must distinguish between plastic bottles made of single-use plastic, which is essentially no longer permitted in the EU, and PET bottles, which are subject to a deposit and automatically enter the recycling process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In some countries, however, golfers react more and more sceptical to plastic bottles. In a <a href=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/prevention-of-plastic-waste-top-issue-for-german-golfers\/\">survey conducted by Golf Sustainable and the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Munich<\/a>, 74.2 per cent of German golfers said that preventing plastic waste on golf courses was important. 58.85 per cent reported bringing their refillable bottles from home. Nevertheless, PET plastic bottles are standard at tournaments here as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Plastic pollution as a global problem<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Plastic waste causes problems worldwide. Already, 85 per cent of all trash in the world&#8217;s oceans is plastic. The UN Environment Program (UNEP) predicts that plastic in oceans will nearly triple by 2040. According to the science magazine\u00a0<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Nature<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, the annual cost of plastic pollution to society (including recycling and recovery) is over $100 billion annually. &#8220;The cost of doing nothing about plastic far outweighs the cost of addressing it,&#8221; says Lindsay Godfrey, a senior scientist at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research in Pretoria, South Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Plastic is also an economic factor for a golf club or resort. After all, the water bottles must first be purchased or filled, then stored, distributed to the carts, sorted out again, emptied of residual water, and then disposed of in the trash. Waste disposal then still costs money. It also negatively impacts the CO\u2082 footprint of a golf facility. It is considerably less expensive for the golfer to bring an aluminium water bottle and draw water from a water station.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lb6d8gkq-c8e8fe16864dc452e023a4846155625b\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lb6d8gkq-c8e8fe16864dc452e023a4846155625b img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lb6d8gkq-c8e8fe16864dc452e023a4846155625b .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lb6d8gkq-c8e8fe16864dc452e023a4846155625b av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '  ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-4985 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-4985 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/One-of-the-many-water-stations-implemented-by-Sentosa-Golf-Club-on-their-golf-courses-205x300.jpg\" alt='' title=''  height=\"300\" width=\"205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/One-of-the-many-water-stations-implemented-by-Sentosa-Golf-Club-on-their-golf-courses-205x300.jpg 205w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/One-of-the-many-water-stations-implemented-by-Sentosa-Golf-Club-on-their-golf-courses-705x1030.jpg 705w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/One-of-the-many-water-stations-implemented-by-Sentosa-Golf-Club-on-their-golf-courses-768x1123.jpg 768w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/One-of-the-many-water-stations-implemented-by-Sentosa-Golf-Club-on-their-golf-courses-1051x1536.jpg 1051w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/One-of-the-many-water-stations-implemented-by-Sentosa-Golf-Club-on-their-golf-courses-1401x2048.jpg 1401w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/One-of-the-many-water-stations-implemented-by-Sentosa-Golf-Club-on-their-golf-courses-1026x1500.jpg 1026w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/One-of-the-many-water-stations-implemented-by-Sentosa-Golf-Club-on-their-golf-courses-482x705.jpg 482w, https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/One-of-the-many-water-stations-implemented-by-Sentosa-Golf-Club-on-their-golf-courses-scaled.jpg 924w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 205px) 100vw, 205px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lb6d0qki-3e74c5c7b381325967063c48ecf5639a '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><p>Within the golf industry, there is growing pressure on operators to address the plastic problem. Although leading golf resorts, such as Pebble Beach, Gleneagles and Pinehurst, repeatedly go public with sustainability measures, the plastic problem is immanent at their facilities.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, other prominent golf facilities make it clear that plastic can certainly be avoided with the right strategy. At <strong>Valderrama Golf Club in Spain<\/strong>, plastic bottles are no longer used. Guests and members receive refillable water bottles as a gift. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.makaigolf.com\/\">Princeville Makai Golf Club on Kauai<\/a> also decided in 2020 to eliminate water bottles on the carts and at the halfway station. Instead, golfers can either use a paper cup made from recycled material, purchase a refillable aluminum bottle for three dollars or bring their own containers. Savings: Over 50,000 bottles per year. &#8220;Having been located on an island, we are very conscious of waste. We want to protect our oceans from single-use plastic ending up in them,&#8221; explains <strong>Michael Neider, general manager of<\/strong> Princeville Makai Golf Club.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Positive approaches from Mauritius to Singapore<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/golfsustainable.com\/en\/beachcomber-hotels-uses-plant-material-instead-of-plastic\/\">Beachcomber Hotels in Mauritius<\/a>, like the Heritage Resort, now only use bottles made from plant material that decomposes in the hotels and on the golf course. In the United Arab Emirates, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomorebottles.ae\/\">No More Bottles<\/a> company is active on a total of seven golf courses. At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elsclubdubai.com\/\">Els Club Dubai<\/a>, they have saved around 180,000 plastic bottles alone in the period from the beginning of 2020 to August 2022. Nine water dispensers on the course ensure that golfers can refill their bottles.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Every detail helps,&#8221; summed up<strong> Andy Johnston, general manager and director of agronomy<\/strong> at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sentosagolf.com\/\">Sentosa Golf Club<\/a> in Singapore as early as 2018. &#8220;The decision to remove all plastic bottles from golf carts will significantly reduce our plastic consumption.&#8221; Two years later, however, he also had to say that the switch of golfers was not necessarily easy: &#8220;No, at the beginning the idea was not necessarily well received.&#8221; In the meantime, the issue has been resolved. Even in Sentosa, golfers can use their own bottles or get refillable bottles in the pro store. These are all positive examples within an industry that otherwise still largely depends on plastic bottles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the future of plastic use?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In the first week of December, delegates from more than 150 countries met in Uruguay as part of the <\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC)<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> to negotiate a possible global agreement to end plastic pollution. The focus was also on two essential questions: Can recycling be a solution? How significant are the health hazards that generally arise from microplastics in water, for example? According to\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/d41586-022-03835-w?utm_source=Nature+Briefing&amp;utm_campaign=71486d0211-briefing-dy-20221202&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_c9dfd39373-71486d0211-45172102\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Nature<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, only about nine per cent of all plastic waste is currently recycled. By far, the largest share is burned worldwide &#8211; especially in Asia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Consumers rarely think about the consequences for the environment and health. The golfer isn&#8217;t an exemption. Who thinks about the plastic bottle in the golf cart when he starts a round of golf in the Caribbean, in Thailand or somewhere in the south of France? No question, it&#8217;s just a plastic bottle.
