“Zero Waste” is a growing trend of the 21st Century! It is a principle that goes beyond recycling by taking a ‘whole system’ approach to the large amount of waste discarded at special events. Zero Waste seeks to reduce the amount of consumption, minimize waste, maximize recycling, and ensure that products are made to be reused, repaired or recycled back into nature or the marketplace.

Every event can be made Zero Waste! Zero Waste events help:

• Reduce our dependence on natural resources such as timber, petroleum, and land
• Reduce and divert any waste generated; reducing the waste going to the landfill.
