After ten years of providing professional waste prevention and recycling services to more than one hundred Canterbury events, Our Daily Waste are finally hanging up their gloves. We’ve picked up, handled, hauled, hand-sorted, and – most importantly – diverted many tonnes of other people’s trash. Along the way we helped the Christchurch City Council set up the Composting Food Packaging at Events (CFPE) programme, which is used by many events across the region, making Canterbury a leader in event waste minimization.

However, it is now time to let our experience be put to better use as consultants, so that we can change events from the production end, reducing waste before it even gets on site. With our first-hand knowledge of event practicalities and H&S requirements (along with an extensive contact list), we can assist our clients in finding reusable solutions to single-use packaging, thereby reducing waste and onsite handling fees, and proving to the attendees – in a highly tangible way – that they are taking action to reduce their environmental impact.

To find out how you can make your event more sustainable please email Sharon McIver [email protected] or go to our contacts page.
