The Qube Liverpool International Tennis Tournament will return next month along with further pledges towards environmental preservation.
Last year, the organisers Northern Vision committed to various greener policies including using biodegradable, recyclable food cartons and utensils, limiting single use plastic by using cup take back schemes and implementing waste separation systems in order to encourage recycling. This came after an impact report was published in collaboration with the University of Liverpool which showed what changes the tournament can make in order to become greener.
For this year’s edition, which will take place between 22-24 June, Northern Vision will also be donating over 500 used tennis balls to Freshfields Animal Rescue due to their potentially devastating environmental impact which can see them take more than 400 years to decompose, during which time they continue to produce methane and other greenhouse gases.
