More than half of Premier League clubs still use environmentally damaging single-use plastic water bottles, a Sportsmail investigation has found.
Of the top flight’s 20 sides, just five told this newspaper that they no longer use the ocean-clogging products at their training pitches in a finding that flies in the face of green initiatives and which Greenpeace UK have described as ‘shocking’.
Much has been made of the competition’s commitment to looking after the planet, and only this week the Premier League announced that it had committed to the United Nations Sports for Climate Action Framework.
