Transition to sustainable water practices reduces plastic waste

Royal Birkdale Golf Club

Written by: Michael Sawicki

In 2021, the Club assessed the primary sources of its plastic waste and found that water bottles sold in the Professional Shop and large water bottles available in the clubhouse were significant contributors. After discussing the issue with the professional, it was agreed to cease the sale of plastic water bottles and transition to refillable bottles instead.

In the clubhouse, we installed a water filtration system and introduced reusable bottles, discontinuing the sale of plastic water bottles altogether. By implementing these changes, we are helping reduce plastic waste that ends up in the natural environment while encouraging individuals to adopt more sustainable practices and save money in the long term.
