Environmental degradation and pollution have become a major concern in recent years. With global warming and other hazards, it is advisable to be cautious about conservation. People around the world are trying to do their part and we think we should too. Planning a zero-waste event does not require a lot of extra effort and is relatively economical. A zero-waste event strategy could be applied to a conference, meeting, or even a themed event by aiming to reduce and control the amount of waste generated. It is a new trend in the industry and we think that the few points mentioned below will help you understand how we can play our part in saving the planet.
Avoid printing brochures and posters instead, get sustainable by using digital tools for your event invitations and marketing. Social media tools have made it much easier to keep your guests updated regarding your event and create the hype you need for your event. Sending E-brochures and digital invitations will save paper and printing costs besides being less time and energy-consuming. Traditional printed flex banners which are used for backdrops and hoardings can be replaced by an LED wall that has long-distance visibility and also enhances the overall experience of your event.
Whether knowingly or not, planners use a lot of plastic during an event. Elements such as straws, plastic water bottles, plastic bags for welcome kits can be easily replaced with eco-friendly alternatives such as paper straws, glasses, take away bottles, and cloth bags.
The use of an on-site waste disposal system will help you reduce the waste produced and manage it efficiently. Color-coded bins with labels for recycled, dry, and wet waste will allow guests to dispose of their waste correctly. Creating awareness and educating guests about proper disposal methods will help you reduce waste produced and also manage it effectively.
Having a proper estimate of the number of guests at your event will help reduce food leftovers. If you have leftover food after your event, try and donate it to homeless people or an orphanage. Reducing food wastage is critical not only because of the millions of people who sleep hungry but also because of the enormous amounts of energy used by the food production industry.
Make the necessary arrangements and encourage carpooling among your guests. Depending on the nature of your event, evaluate the feasibility, and encourage your guests to carpool. You could also consider renting a bus and picking up guests from a location that is convenient for the majority of them. Carpooling will not only reduce pollution but also allow your guests to spend quality time together.
Reducing event waste will not only help save the planet but will save costs as well. Using eco-friendly materials for planning your event will help reduce large quantities of waste.
