What does ‘Waste Neutral’ mean?

Waste Neutral refers to the balance or cycle of what we at Oxygen Event Services call The Big Three: Reduce, Re-use & Recycle and Reinvest. For the event industry, Waste Neutral can only be achieved through careful planning, procurement and production.

What is a ‘Waste Neutral Target’?

Oxygen Event Services will use their programme to tailor strategies, bespoke for your event, to achieve a Waste Neutral Target. This target consists not only of the end aim, but of practical solutions that will help to reduce to an absolute minimum, the waste produced by your event.

The Eden Project’s Waste Neutral Programme

The Eden Project is a world recognised demonstration of regeneration and eco living. Their aim is to reconnect people with their environments locally and globally. This is achieved through a number of projects addressing specific environmental issues. One example of which is their Waste Neutral Project – the blueprint for the challenge of waste.

The Waste Neutral programme is determined to make clear that not all rubbish is rubbish! Instead, Waste Neutral is a philosophy for a way of life at the Eden Project and a unique balancing act of reducing waste that is brought onto their site, recycling and re-using generated waste and reinvesting in products that are made from recyclates, or creating products from junk. All of these steps aim to complete a cycle of sustainability from waste to product, to reusable waste, then to product again and so on.

As a programme with extensive specialist experience of tackling resource and waste management, the Eden Project’s Waste Neutral Team have been consulting with Oxygen Event Services on the development of , its policy and strategies. The Waste Neutral Project is a resource that Oxygen Event Services is able to draw research and up-to-date information from to ensure that is a market-leading eco supplier for event production.
