10. Waste

  • To avoid generating waste, use as little material as possible. For example:
    • Avoid disposable materials, printed matter and packaging
    • Use only materials that can be reused and have a long life
    • Avoid food waste by using smaller plates and by finding out whether you can customise your food order to the exact needs on the day.
  • Demand that suppliers and participants reduce waste and treat it efficiently. Reach agreements with suppliers to make it easy for the participants to recycle their waste in clearly marked containers, e.g. paper, cardboard, food, metal, plastic, glass and residual waste. Inform participants how important it is that they help.
Meetings and events held in settings people are not used to generate large amounts of waste. Remind participants of good habits and make it easy for them to Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
