SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM

The Mitsubishi Electric Classic presented by Vensure recognizes that sustainability extends beyond recycling- it begins with the choices made across the entire supply chain. By working with vendors andpartners who emphasize durability, ethical sourcing, and reduced enviornmental impact, the tournament supports a circular economy where products are designed for long life, resource efficiency, and responsible re-use. 

In partnership with The Junkluggers an e-waste recycling event was held in advance of the tournament.  Community members were invited to drop-off their “hard to recycle” electronics and allowed Junkluggers do the heavy lifting.

In partnership with Proof of the Pudding, hospitality venues, volunteer HQ and concession stands are utilizing commercially compostable paper goods including:
   • Plates, made from non-harvested palm leaves
   • Food Containers, made from sugarcane
   • Utensils, made from corn / potato resin
   • Beverage Cups, made from corn / potato resin
   • Napkins, made from recycled paper

Spectator guides are published digitally as opposed to paper copies to reduce printing and paper onsite.

In 2018, The Coca-Cola Company, the official soft drink, water, and isotonic partner of the Mitsubishi Electric Classic presented by Vensure, launched a strategy called World Without Waste.  This is a global sustainable packaging platform focused on measurable and interconnected goals, each supported by additional targets – Design. Collect. Partner.

All of the packaging is designed to be 100% recyclable. Bottles collected from events with various partners are used to make new bottles over and over again. This is best demonstrated by the 20oz Coca-Cola bottle beverages now made with 100% recycled plastic bottles.
