888poker is boosting its commitment to environmental responsibility! They’ve joined forces with Ecosec, a provider of sustainable security solutions, to move poker chips in a more eco-conscious manner.
These innovative bags will debut at all future 888poker LIVE tournaments, commencing with the Barcelona event from May 12th to 23rd. This change represents a significant improvement over the previous practice of using disposable plastic bags.
Ecosec’s bags are not only tamper-resistant but also crafted from biodegradable, low-density polyethylene, minimizing their environmental impact.
Shai Tabibian, 888’s head of B2C operations, expressed immense pride in being the first major operator to collaborate with Ecosec on this initiative. He views it as mutually beneficial, promoting both environmental well-being and a positive brand image.
It’s encouraging to witness prominent entities within the poker industry embracing measures toward a more sustainable future!
Ecosecs top dog, Karim Lewis, was struck by inspiration to address plastic waste in the world of poker following a major competition. He understood that chip bags are crucial for holding chips, forming a key element of any tournament. Therefore, his organization could have a significant positive impact worldwide by boosting their environmental friendliness.
“We’re thrilled to provide 888 with these innovative, earth-conscious chip bags and are excited to collaborate with them again at upcoming gatherings.”
