Waste management

The foundation of a sustainable event is the conscious reduction of waste—whether plastic, paper, decorative, catering-related, or promotional. The less waste you generate, the smaller the environmental footprint your event will leave behind.

 
You can give your promotional materials a second life! Partner with Zeroban, an organization that specializes in upcycling—transforming banners, roll-ups, and other promotional items into bags, pouches, and accessories in the spirit of less waste. Learn more about Zeroban HERE. And don’t forget about food—planning the right amount of meals is essential, but if you have any leftovers, you can donate them to people in need.m.
 
 
Get in touch with charities that distribute food to those in need, such as the Tricity Food Bank or the St. Brother Albert Association – Gdańsk branch, which supports people experiencing homelessness. For waste that cannot be avoided, make sure it is properly managed—provide visible and clearly labeled sorting bins (paper, plastic, bio, glass, mixed waste). Ensure that organic waste is sent for composting.
