Cleaning Up Yas Marina Beach: A Day of Impact, Sustainability, and Community Spirit
On a sunny morning at Yas Marina, Yas Island, community members, environmental enthusiasts, and local partners came together with one shared mission: to protect and preserve one of Abu Dhabi's most iconic beaches. The beach cleanup event, held in proud partnership with Elite Horizon, was more than a cleanup. It was a celebration of sustainability, wellness and teamwork.
The Power of Partnership: Elite Horizon Leads the Way
This initiative was proudly supported by Elite Horizon, the UAE distributor behind Igloo and Klean Freak and the home of Moya. Its commitment to corporate social responsibility set the tone for a high-energy day focused on protecting the coastline and education.
Elite Horizon brought together volunteers from many backgrounds, including local students, corporate teams and environmental advocates, for a well-organised beach cleanup that left Yas Marina visibly cleaner.
Staying Cool in the Summer Heat
Beach cleanups can be demanding, especially under the UAE’s intense summer sun. To make sure every volunteer stayed safe, hydrated and refreshed, the event was equipped with summer gear from our brands:
Igloo Coolers: Ice Cold Refreshment All Day
Strategically placed Igloo Drinking water Coolers 10 Gallon were stocked with chilled water and drinks to keep participants cool throughout the day. Their rugged design and Ultratherm® insulation ensured that drinks stayed icy even during the midday heat.
Why Igloo?
- Holds ice up to 5 days
- Easy to transport
- Ideal for large groups and long hours outdoors
- High visibility red and yellow safety colours
- The PEHD mask will not be kneaded, peeled, curled, or rusted.
- Ultratherm insulation for maximum cold retention
Moya Bottles: Sustainable Hydration on the Move
Every participant received a reusable Moya Bottle, reducing single-use plastic and keeping everyone hydrated. With sleek designs and vacuum-insulated stainless steel, Moya Bottles were a stylish and responsible solution to summer hydration.
Benefits of Moya Bottles:
- Keeps drinks cold up to 12 hours
- BPA-free and eco-friendly
- Recyclable stainless steel and 100% recyclable plastic
- We are proud to contribute a percentage of proceeds from every bottle towards initiatives dedicated to preserving our precious oceans
Klean Freak Body Wipes: On-the-Go Freshness
Sweat, sand, and sunscreen are all part of the cleanup experience. That’s where Klean Freak body wipes came in. These biodegradable, antibacterial wipes helped everyone feel refreshed after hard work, without the need for water or a rinse.
Klean Freak Highlights:
- Alcohol-free and gentle on skin
- Individually wrapped and easy to carry
- Offered in a variety of scents (or unscented options for sensitive users)
Environmental Impact & Community Engagement
Over the course of the day:
- Hundreds of kilograms of marine debris and plastic waste were collected.
- Participants learned about waste separation, marine conservation, and sustainable habits through educational pop-ups and live demos.
- Dozens of social media shares helped amplify the message far beyond the beach.
The Future of Sustainable Beach Events
This beach cleanup at Yas Marina is just the beginning. By combining environmental responsibility with well-planned logistics and thoughtful gear support, we’ve shown that sustainable events can be practical and make a real difference.
Through ongoing collaboration with Elite Horizon, and with continued support from brands like Igloo, Moya, and Klean Freak, we aim to scale up these efforts across the UAE.
