Did you know that if you’re planning a public event in Taranaki, you’ll need to have a waste minimisation plan in place? 

Additionally, you can receive council funding to support your plan.
You can find funding applications at www.npdc.govt.nz/zero-waste/waste-minimisation for New Plymouth or at www.southtaranaki.com/waste-management-at-events for South Taranaki.

At Sustainable Taranaki, we can assist you with your waste minimization plan. We have experience with events of all sizes, including sports games, concerts, expos, festivals, and markets. Our clients have seen significant reductions in waste and a more sustainable event overall.
