Sustainability
We pay a lot of attention to sustainability. We therefore comply with the strictest requirements for service provision and environmental care. This is reflected in, among other things, two quality marks: The Blue Flag and The Golden Anchor.

What we do to contribute to our cause...

• We limit the use of tap water by using rainwater to spray the ships clean.
• Our jetties are made from 100% recyclable Poralu.
• Paper, glass and chemical waste are collected separately and in our environmental garden we process your paint residues, cleaning rags and waste oil in a responsible manner.
• The lighting in the harbour consists as much as possible of low-energy and (solar) LED lamps. The use of motion detectors and time switches also significantly reduces energy consumption.
• We use 100% green electricity by purchasing energy from hydropower.
• We do not use harmful pesticides, not in the green as pest control.
• Jachthaven Bruinisse is one of the first Dutch marinas to use a Seabin. This floating trash can sucks up plastic and other rubbish from the water. This prevents the plastic soup and other pollution in the seas and oceans from increasing.
• Thuishavens has been a Business Angel of Plastic Soup Foundation since 2014.
