zero disposable plastic

The presence of single-use plastic on beaches is a global problem that must be solved locally. It is important that citizens understand that the problem exists and that it has serious impacts on marine and coastal ecosystems and coastal communities. This good practice is intended to reduce the impact of the event which, in addition to the environmental and sports component, has a night component (concerts with bars). To this end, the organization of the Ocean Spirit event had to define rules for the stakeholders (operators of the night bars) of the event, who could not promote disposable plastic products. This rule was released before operators applied to be at the event. The organization purchased reusable cups that were partly offered to bar operators. However, they had to find more reusable cups to meet the demand for their products/beverages. The other products were purchased by the bar operators, taking into account the type of product sold. For example, we had an operator who sold yogurt with granola and had to buy cardboard bowls. the costs resulting from the acquisition of plastic substitute materials were acquired by the operators (restaurant and bars). We do not record these costs because they are not part of Ocean Spirit's organization.
