SUSTAINABILITY AT THE FORMULA 1 ETIHAD AIRWAYS ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX

Yas Marina Circuit along with our incredible partners are dedicated to going green, and more importantly, helping others to leave a smaller carbon footprint through enjoyable sustainability initiatives. Our goal for this year's Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix was to use less material, create less waste, and recycle old resources to make something new again - goals we continue to work tirelessly to surpass.

ETIHAD AIRWAYS ECO-PITSTOP

Did you know you can reduce 250 kg of carbon dioxide from the air we breathe, simply by recycling one plastic bottle this race-week? In partnership with DGrade, The Etihad Airways Eco-Pitstop reverse vending machine allows guests to exchange plastic bottles for a seed voucher to plant a tree in the Etihad Mangrove Forest, located at Jubail Mangrove Park, right here in Abu Dhabi.

  • In partnership with DGrade, recycled plastic bottles will be spun into thread, which will be used to make sustainable clothing - including the Yas Marina Circuit uniform!
  • Each mangrove planted will absorb up to 250 kg of carbon dioxide
  • Located in Main Oasis
