R&A REMOVES SALE OF SINGLE-USE PLASTIC WATER BOTTLES AT THE OPEN

Next month’s Open Championship at Royal Portrush will become one of the first major global sporting events to remove single-use plastic water bottles from sale. The Open Water initiative has been developed with Bluewater, a leading global innovator in drinking water solutions, to deliver a pioneering new approach to supplying drinking water at a major event by using water refilling stations and reusable stainless steel bottles to deliver fresh water directly to fans, players, staff and officials at The Open.
