A few weeks ago, we were thrilled to launch our new Single-Use Plastic-Free Accreditation Scheme for marine-based clubs, centres and businesses developed in collaboration with the Green Blue. So far, we have seen 20 sign-ups for the scheme, including sailing clubs, marinas and marine businesses, which is fantastic.

You can find out more about the scheme and how to sign up on our page here – just click on the link below to read all about it. There are 3 levels of accreditation, Bronze, Silver and Gold.

Our founder Bianca Carr, is really excited about the accreditation. “We firmly believe that businesses, recreational boaters and all water users of our waterways and oceans have a responsibility to lead the way with sustainability. It’s vital that we learn to reduce the potential for pollution whilst creating best practices for others to follow. We hope this accreditation plays a key part in making those changes and will be hugely successful.”
