Taking the green run - Italian ski resort bans plastic

Pejo 3000 becomes Italy's first plastic-free ski resort. Plastic straws, bottles, cups and even ski passes will be replaced with 'other materials compatible with nature,' said the director of the resort’s ‘Lo Scoiattolo’ mountain lodge

PEIO, Italy - “Abandon plastic all ye who enter here,” reads a sign at the Pejo 3000 ski resort, which says it is the first in Italy to ban all plastic cups, spoons and straws.

Plastic straws, bottles, ketchup sachets, cups and even ski passes will be “replaced with other materials such as cellulose paste, paperboard or other materials compatible with nature,” said Marco Leo, director of the resort’s ‘Lo Scoiattolo’ mountain lodge.“I’d prefer to say stop to plastic in most areas, not only in the ski areas,” said Polish tourist Jozek Nowak.
