Goodwood’s greener thinking does not stop there however, as over the weekend at Goodwood Revival, it also put in sustainability efforts.

These efforts included using an eco-alternative for food service essentials, recycling and controlling single-use plastic and encouraging sustainability beyond Goodwood.

Toby McCartney, CEO and co-founder of MacRebur, said: “MacRebur’s values align perfectly with those of the Goodwood Estate, working to meet the challenges of climate change with creativity and innovation".

“Goodwood is iconic in the world of motorsport, so to be able to use our product to create a more environmentally friendly road surface at its Motor Circuit is a real honour".
