Zero Waste Event Guide
Hosting an upcoming event? Wondering how to reduce the waste your event generates?

Check out the Zilkha Center for the Environment’s Zero Waste Event Guide.

The guide was created over a period of a year and was started by interns Charlotte Luke (’25) and completed by Saumya Shinde (’26) when they both worked as ZCE Zero Waste Interns.
The guide includes helpful tips and a comprehensive checklist on how to reduce the amount of waste created by events and how to properly dispose of what waste is left.
For a holistic overview of sustainable event planning, considering aspects such as accessibility, responsible buying, and purpose, we recommend you refer to our Sustainable Events Guide instead.
