What is a Zero Waste Event?
A Zero Waste Event is designed to minimize or eliminate landfill waste by focusing on:
- Reducing waste at the source
- Reusing and recovering materials
- Recycling and composting as much as possible
To qualify as a Zero Waste Event, at least 90% of waste must be diverted from landfills. This is achieved through thoughtful planning, vendor coordination, proper waste stations, clear signage, and on-site waste management.
How We Help You Achieve Zero Waste
We work directly with you, your venue, and your vendors to create a plan that maximizes waste diversion and makes sustainable event planning simple.
Consulting & Pre-Planning
We assess your event’s needs and develop a customized Zero Waste strategy.
Vendor Communication
We collaborate with vendors to ensure proper waste disposal and sustainability practices.
Zero Waste Stations
We provide clearly labeled recycling, composting, and landfill bins to make sorting waste easy for attendees.
On-Site Event Waste Management
Our team helps educate guests, monitor waste stations, and ensure proper sorting during your event.
Post-Event Waste Diversion Reporting
Get a detailed breakdown of your event’s sustainability success with diversion reports showing how much waste was prevented from reaching the landfill.
Why Go Zero Waste?
Less Waste, More Impact
The average event generates 2.5 pounds of waste per attendee per day, and 15-20% of event food goes to waste. Reducing this saves resources and minimizes costs.
Lower Your Carbon Footprint
Zero Waste systems prevent pollution and reduce emissions from landfills, helping create a cleaner, more sustainable Lincoln.
Save Money on Waste Disposal
Landfill fees can add up quickly! Recycling and composting help reduce overall waste management costs.
Set a Sustainable Example
Show your attendees, sponsors, and community that your event is committed to sustainability.
