Cities worldwide are increasingly prioritising sustainability, with waste management and packaging reuse gaining prominence as critical issues. Events such as festivals, concerts, and conferences generate significant amounts of single-use packaging, contributing to the generation of great quantities of waste. In response, several cities have implemented
or supported initiatives aimed at reducing event-related waste by promoting the reuse of packaging materials. These efforts not only minimize waste but also pave the way for more ircular and resource-efficient urban systems.
This publication presents a collection of eight inspiring case studies showcasing how cities around the world have successfully integrated packaging reuse practices into events. By highlighting diverse models, strategies, and outcomes, this resource aims to support municipalities in identifying scalable and replicable approaches to reducing event-related waste.
The case studies, highlight innovative approaches to integrating sustainability into large-scale public events, focusing on reducing environmental impact through the implementation of reuse solutions.
