How to get started with sustainable events
The great thing about sustainability is that it's a versatile concept that can be adapted to fit any industry event or project. Whether you're just getting started or looking for ways to take your sustainability efforts to the next level, we've got some tips to share.
The first step is to make sure you have a clear understanding of what sustainability means and what your organisation's goals are. Once you have a solid foundation, you can start looking for specific ways to incorporate sustainable practices into your event planning.

There are lots of easy ways to make your events more sustainable. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Use recycled materials whenever possible
- Choose biodegradable or compostable materials over plastic and Styrofoam
- Choose energy-efficient lightbulbs and appliances
- Use plant-based materials instead of synthetic materials
- Make sure all event waste is properly recycled or composted
What are some challenges of sustainable events?
One of the biggest challenges when it comes to sustainable events styling and design is making the switch to more environmentally friendly and sustainable products. Often the cheaper and more readily available options are not the most sustainable, so it can be tricky to find a happy medium.
Another challenge is making sure that all aspects of the events are considered in terms of sustainability. From sourcing materials and products to creating waste management plans, it can be a lot of work, but it's worth it in the long run.
