For the second year in a row, the Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) took part in the European Week for Waste Reduction (EWWR) from 21 to 26 November 2023. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle : this was the key message throughout the operation, in which many of the Principality’s institutions and companies got involved, focusing especially on the theme of packaging.

As part of its commitment to the Government of Monaco and Motorsport Promoters, and on the strength of its actions throughout the year through its events (distribution of water bottles, ashtrays to the public, “upcycled” bags), the Automobile Club de Monaco was keen to highlight 3 specific operations during this major ecology week:

• Collection of old clothes bought in the Official Boutique or worn by volunteers,
• A special “anti-waste” menu offered to members of the “Le Club” restaurant,
• Collection of cutlery and crockery, which will remain available to the staff on the ACM facilities to avoid accumulating packaging during lunch breaks.

A round-table discussion was also held with internal staff to share best practices and find new ideas for reducing packaging.

As a reminder, last year’s collection enabled us to collect materials for our ongoing upcycling projects, and to make shopping bags that are now being distributed to journalists and volunteers during our events, and now on sale to the general public at the Official Store for €15…

Together, let’s commit for the future !
