PREMISE

Littering—the abandonment of small and very small pieces of waste—is a widespread phenomenon. It contributes at least 75% of the waste concentration in water bodies, particularly in the sea. Combating littering is a priority for global authorities and the European Union. Specifically, the European Union has designated May 10th as the European Clean Up Day.

Among the measures considered most effective was identified:

Awareness and communication. Environmental awareness through sporting events has become an increasingly widespread practice in recent years, leading to the drafting of the International Charter for Sustainable Sporting Events, or the Courmayeur Charter.
