Company through their Good Sports Always Recycle campaign. This has
identified PET plastic materials for cups and bottles, which can most
effectively be recycled. The recycled cups and bottles, made from Eastapak®
Polymer, will be recycled again for use in new applications, such as clothing
and packaging. Anticipated volumes, preferred collection container designs,
locations and emptying schedules have all been taken into account.
Limpiasol, the appointed cleaning and waste management company are
coordinating the collection and sorting of waste, using a team of volunteers
provided by the Junta of Andalucia.
Materials management
Consuming less resources and materials will offer both environmental and
cost
benefits. This theme embraces purchasing policies for environmentally
preferred
materials, with the emphasis on reducing where possible and then seeking
materials which can either be reused or recycled. This covers items such as
stationery, printing processes, signs, souvenirs, merchandise, etc.
Infrastructure and construction
As an existing facility, relatively little new construction has been required at
Valderrama. New car parking facilities are located on sites already designated
for future development. Catering and hospitality centres are all to be
temporary structures and have been sited to avoid removing mature trees.
Additional mains power services have been brought to Valderrama by
Sevillana de Electricidad S.A. using electricity generated at the new cleanburn
natural gas power plant at Tarifa. This means cleaner energy than the
usual diesel generators, and at the same time local services have been
upgraded, thereby benefiting the wider community.
Creating Partnerships
The Ryder Cup's "Committed to Green" applies to everyone and aims to
involve all stakeholder groups. The environmental dimensions of the 1997
Ryder Cup extends across the region. Valderrama Golf Club has signed an
accord with San Roque Town Council and the Environment Commission of
the Junta of Andalucia to examine wider ecological and socio-economic
factors relating to golf development in Andalucia. A special Ryder Cup theme
Summer School in July 1997 was organised by the University of Cadiz in
collaboration with the EGA Ecology Unit.
