Dhiraagu Bans Single-Use Plastic at Maldives Road Race, Urges Reusable Bottles

Dhiraagu has requested that single-use plastic not be used at the Dhiraagu Maldives Road Race (DMRR). Among the efforts Dhiraagu is undertaking to protect the environment in a sustainable manner, this race, held since 2019, is an event at which the use of single-use plastic has been prohibited. According to Dhiraagu, this is an important step taken with the aim of familiarizing the public with environmentally friendly habits through the DMRR. Accordingly, Dhiraagu said that at this year's race to be held next Friday as well, water will be provided at the stations supplying water to runners in paper cups. In addition, Dhiraagu has also urged all runners to use reusable water bottles instead of single-use plastic bottles. Dhiraagu noted that this initiative stops the use of approximately 18,000 single-use plastic bottles every year. And Dhiraagu described this as an important effort being made by the company to protect the Maldives' fragile marine environment and to reduce plastic waste. While more than 5,600 runners are participating in this year's race, Dhiraagu has also invited all participants to adopt environmentally friendly ways without using plastic.
