Low waste event

Thanks to Green My Plate who will be on-site washing plates and cups as part of a closed loop food service system, the Zero Waste Festival is proudly a low waste event. All exhibitors and stallholders follow the guidelines in Zero Waste Victoria’s Create No Waste Festival Policy. The effect of our individual actions may be subtle, but when you multiply that by the actions of a community, collectively we can create a big impact.
