Plastic to paper bags in the golf division

2022

There are many types of shopping bags available in today’s market to cater to the different shopping needs of all the customers. Strong enough to be reused on multiple occasions, paper bags provide flexibility in their uses as they are made from renewable resources and have multiple end-of-life options.

Considering paper bags a truly sustainable option, Aphrodite Hills Resort has replaced all the plastic bags used by the Golf Division with paper ones. Some of the environmental advantages that paper bags have and were taken in consideration when making this decision are:

• They minimize pollution
• They are reusable and cost-efficient
• They create a diversity of uses
• Their raw material is sourced from sustainably managed forests
• They are recyclable and biodegradable, therefore can be used for purposes like composting

As a golf course, the research of sustainable practices is a must in our decision-making process as we are aware of our impact on the environment. We always encourage our customers to follow our aims by reusing and recycling their shopping bags.
