Calling all yachties - Beach Cleanups season kicks off!

In partnership with Vripack, Fraser has organised an ongoing worldwide beach clean-up as part of our FUTURE program.

With a desire to create awareness and take positive actions to reduce the amount of plastic and waste in our oceans and on our beaches, Vripack, partnering with North Sails, developed  waste bins and bin bags made from old used sails.

We have joined forces to create the ongoing Worldwide Beach Clean Up  and we would love for you to join us!
 

Details of how to participate

Whether you are on a yacht, or on land, join us in taking the Beach Clean Up Pledge!

And remember the more people there are the more fun you'll have and the more trash you'll pick up! So feel free to bring friends and family along!

Depending on your location either register to join one of our local offices for their beach clean, or if you are on a yacht far from any of the locations, you may be able to pick up a bag from your local IGY marina or if not register to receive the Vripack bags directly.

How does it work?

Fill the Vripack waste/rubbish bins and bags and scan the QR code on the bag and then fill out the details required and upload any photos you’ve taken.

The registered bags will then be plotted onto a map of the world showing how much waste has been collected over the period from different places across the globe!

The data will be shared with Universities around the world and International research institutions.
Of course, once you are close to public recycling bins you then empty your Vripack bin, so all waste is disposed of correctly.
