The plastic cup nonchalantly tossed in the bin by the water filter has by now made its way to a landfill on the outskirts of the city. The confetti at the end of the celebration is flowing alongside our waters into the closest river. The tiniest particles of plastic are a part of our systems as much as the air we breathe. It is out of our sight in a second, but it impacts our lives forever. The amount of plastic that enters our oceans every year is over 15 million metric tons. The time for which most of these single-use plastic items are typically used is less than 15 minutes.
Once in a landfill or the environment, plastic never fully biodegrades. Fortunately, the plastic waste generated at events - from things such as cups, utensils, plates, water bottles - is avoidable.
Adopting a low-waste or zero-waste lifestyle is a matter of setting a culture as much as a pledge. It can take the shape of individual responses like encouraging employees to carry their own cutlery to a community response like segregating and recycling waste. As industry leaders you can help set the tone.
