Gobelets et eau de la ville
Des gobelets recyclables et compostables à domicile sont proposés sur tous les ravitaillements. Le gobelet carton sans film plastique Earth Cup® est une innovation française fabriquée dans les Deux-Sèvres par CEE Schisler Packaging Solutions (http://www.ceeschisler.fr/). Afin de réduire les bouteilles plastiques nous utilisons le réseau d'eau de la ville.

BIOTOP PARTNERSHIP
Partner of the La Rochelle Serge Vigot Marathon since 2018, the Biotop company, with the help of our volunteers, recovers and recycles the various materials recovered over the weekend: cardboard, textiles, plastics (3 categories: films, bottles, cups), corks, food waste (banana and orange peels, leftovers from volunteer meals and pasta parties). Every year we work to reduce waste at source.
CITY OF LA ROCHELLE PARTNERSHIP
Our association has signed the "charter for eco-responsible La Rochelle events" set up by the city of La Rochelle. It is committed to implementing various actions listed in this charter, and is currently at level 3 (out of 4), i.e. 71% of the actions mentioned in the charter are implemented by the association.
Cooperative carpooling
Dans sa démarche Marathon Éco-Responsable, le Marathon de La Rochelle Serge Vigot s’associe à Mobicoop. Sur l’application ou le site internet de Mobicoop, vous pouvez proposer un covoiturage ou rechercher un trajet pour le Marathon de La Rochelle Serge Vigot.
GIVE AWAY YOUR OLD SPORTS SHOES!
A big bin will wait for your old sports shoes all weekend long at the Marathon Village entry (Espace Encan, Quai Louis Prunier). Just throw in your sneakers: they will later be distributed by a charity to people in need ("Entraides et Solidarités Rochelaises")
