The second press conference of the Dodo Trail 2015
On the 11th of June, Yannick Doger de Speville, Yan Maroussem and Dominique Doger de Speville hosted the second press conference of the Dodo Trail at MTPA’s headquarters in Port Louis. Partners and sponsors of the Dodo Trail as well as members of the press were present during the press conference which marked the launch of this fifth edition.
Our respective sponsors and partners shared their enthusiasm for this iconic race and the support they provide to Dodo Trail, for some, since the first edition. Moreover, we are happy that our sponsors encourage their employees to participate in the trail!
During the press conference, our team highlighted ecological measures that will be effective as from this edition. They are the following:
- Glasses made of recycled plastic and reusable annually will replace disposable plastic cups.
- 20 liters water bottles will replace 0.5 and 1.5 L bottles distributed so far during the trail.
- A bin made out of recycled materials at Riverland to collect plastic bottles used during the trail. These will be subsequently collected for recycling, for example into polyester fiber, for the manufacture of sports shirt.
- “Le Guide de l’Eco Trailer” will be available to participants in the Dodo Trail booklet and aims at showing the trailers the right moves to adopt before and during the race.
The last conference of the Dodo Trail 2015 will be held on Friday, July 24th at the MCB in St Jean.
