🏐 Fresh water, plastic-free and for everyone: ECOBY at the Lanzarote Beach Volleyball Tournament
🏐 Fresh, plastic-free water for everyone: ECOBY® at the Lanzarote Beach Volleyball Tournament
From Friday until midday this Saturday, ECOBY has supplied more than 2,700 liters of microfiltered water to the almost one thousand players and attendees of the International Beach Volleyball Tournament in Playa Grande, Lanzarote. A real commitment to sustainability in a unique environment: the Biosphere Reserve. The response has been extraordinary: athletes especially appreciate the freshness and quality of the water, served in their own reusable bottles, without the need for plastic or transport. The forecast is clear: by Sunday at 7:00 p.m., when the event ends, more than 5,000 liters of water will have been supplied without generating polluting waste. A logistical challenge successfully met and an example of ecological commitment.📅 Official tournament details
The International Beach Volleyball Tournament will be held from August 1 to 3, 2025 at the emblematic Playa Grande, in Puerto del Carmen (Lanzarote), with the participation of hundreds of players of different levels and ages.
Organized by Vóley Playa Grande, the event offers a complete competition during three days, with mixed categories, female and male: Gold, Silver, Bronze, Social (Platinum) and Sapphire (Dino). The competition starts on Friday at noon and lasts until Sunday at 7:00 pm, when the finals are played and the official closing of the tournament takes place.
💧 Conscious and quality hydration in the midst of competition
Beach volleyball is an explosive and demanding sport, played in direct contact with the sun, sand and wind. Each point requires energy, physical endurance and maximum mental concentration to perform at its best under extreme conditions.
Aware of this requirement, at ECOBY we have opted for a conscious and sustainable hydration, offering all players and attendees microfiltered water of the highest quality, free of plastics and served at the ideal temperature even under the intense heat of Playa Grande.
More than 5,000 liters will have been distributed by the end of the tournament, allowing hundreds of athletes to refill their reusable bottles directly at our supply points, without the need for disposable plastic bottles.
A small gesture that, beyond the sport, makes a difference: we reduce waste, take care of the health of the participants and contribute to preserve the beauty of this unique enclave, in the heart of the Biosphere Reserve of Lanzarote.
💧 Water for all, without waste
During the three days of the event, ECOBY will have supplied more than 5,000 liters of microfiltered water directly from the mains, thanks to a sustainable, plastic-free system with local sanitary control.
The technology used by ECOBY is based on advanced microfiltration without water rejection, with bacteriostatic carbon block and coconut fiber filters certified according to the UNE standard. This combination makes it possible to offer a high quality water, with essential minerals, hydrating and nutritious for sportsmen and women, without altering its natural taste.
Thanks to this technical solution, more than 10,000 single-use plastic bottles have been avoided, preserving the environment of Playa Grande, within the Biosphere Reserve, and significantly reducing the environmental footprint of the tournament.
This is the same model that ECOBY installs in homes, offices and public spaces through its platform ecoby.es, where each water point avoids thousands of liters of waste and fuel associated with the transport of bottled water. A firm commitment to the environment in Lanzarote and to the future of our islands.
From only 1 €/day, any person or company can have access to state-of-the-art water systems, with solutions adapted for homes, cafeterias, restaurants or sports facilities. ECOBY offers sales, installation or leasing plans, with local technical service in all the islands and specialized attention from the Canary Islands.
🌱 Real, sustainable and conscious hydration.
Throughout the tournament, players were able to refill their own reusable bottles with fresh, microfiltered water directly from ECOBY points. A simple action, but with a huge impact on the health of the participants and the environment.
The response from attendees has been exceptional: fresh, chlorine-free, residue-free water is always available, just when it is needed most. This gesture demonstrates that sustainability and sports performance can go hand in hand, without compromising the quality or experience of the event.
We would like to congratulate the organization Vóley Playa Grande for their brave bet for an ecological and plastic-free tournament, aligned with the protection of Lanzarote's unique environment as a Biosphere Reserve.
