Reducing emissions before they are generated is the most useful thing you can do to make your production sustainable. Here are thoughts, tips and links around FOOD & WASTE
CHOOSE CATERERS WHO PRIORITISE LOCALLY GROWN SEASONAL FOOD. Try Showbites or Green Tea Live. And for carbon neutral coffee from self sufficient trailers try Keep Rolling Coffee.
REQUEST VEGETARIAN & VEGAN FOOD A stew with chickpeas at its heart is 60 times less carbon hungry than one made with beef reared on deforested land.
ASK FOR REUSABLE CROCKERY & CUTLERY Anything disposable, whether biodegradable or not, is a wasted resource. For London productions check out china hire from Rayners and enamel hire from London Event Hire.
REFILLABLE WATER BOTTLES & REUSABLE COFFEE CUPS Encourage crew and cast to bring their own.
PROVIDE ALTERNATIVES TO DAIRY 2.5 pints of cows milk per day each yr is a tonne of Co2e, equivalent to a flight from London to New York.
SPLIT FOOD WASTE, GENERAL WASTE AND RECYCLING Use separate bins on location. London productions check out Quantum Waste.
LIMIT FOOD WASTE Upload leftover food to food sharing App Olio & to City Harvest.
HOW CAN YOU REDUCE WASTE EMISSIONS?
Sending recyclable rubbish to landfill produces Co2e in two ways; the emissions from the rotting process and the emissions needed to reproduce virgin products.
RECYCLE PRODUCTION WASTE Check out Quantum Waste.
BIODEGRADABLE & COMPOSTABLE PACKAGING from companies like Vegware must be collected separately and sent to industrial compost facilities. It cannot be recycled with standard plastic.
