Zero Waste Events
Hey, 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.
Benefits of a Zero Waste Event:
Enhance the profile of your event
Reducing its impact on the environment
Making the event attractive to sponsors
Possibly reducing costs from waste disposal and litter pick up
Providing a clean, positive environment for patrons
Help increase environmental awareness
Meet increasing community expectations to be seen to be green
Create goodwill amongst the team staging the event
Our team offers guidance and support to make your event more sustainable and work towards a zero-waste outcome.
We provide a range of services:

Liaising with city councils to meet requirements
Coordinating with EnviroWaste or Waste Management for bin orders and pick-ups
