At Belletane, we believe that an event can be both impactful and sustainable. 

Here are our tips for organizing a zero-waste event without compromising the experience.

Say goodbye to single-use items: rent reusable tableware, furniture, and signage. 

Sharing resources between events can also help reduce costs and waste.

✅ Tip: Work with local partners to minimize transport emissions.

Welcome bags and guest gifts often create a lot of waste. 

Choose useful, durable, or even digital alternatives. 

Why not offer an experience or intangible memory instead of a physical item?

💡 Examples: a voucher for a local activity, access to an online photo gallery, or exclusive digital content.

Catering is often a major source of waste. 

Work with an eco-conscious caterer: local, organic, seasonal produce; vegetarian options; no individual packaging; 

and a plan for surplus food (donations to charities or redistribution).

🥕 Also consider using compostable or washable dishware, and set up clearly marked waste sorting stations.

Invitations, tickets, programs—everything can be digitized to reduce printing. 

On-site, use QR codes, screens, or apps instead of printed plans or menus.

📱 A digital event is more interactive, flexible, and often more cost-effective!

A sustainable event is a shared responsibility. 

Inform your guests about your approach early on, encourage them to use public transport or carpool, 

and invite them to join in with eco-friendly activities (DIY workshops, clean-ups, awareness sessions...).

🤝 Sustainability becomes a collective experience!

Provide clearly marked recycling bins and make sure they're easy to use. 

Work with your cleaning team or assign someone to supervise proper waste handling.

♻️ The ultimate goal? No black trash bags at the end of the event.

Organizing a zero-waste event requires a bit of planning, a lot of common sense, and a true desire to make a difference. It’s a modern, conscious, and rewarding way to create events—aligned with today’s expectations.

So why not make your next seminar or product launch a showcase of your sustainability commitment?
