Bulgaria: zero waste event guide for businesses and organisers

A practical guide making sustainable events the easy choice

Za Zemiata published a practical zero waste event guide offering concrete advice on hosting low-waste and waste-free events: covering catering, packaging, waste station design, volunteering, and post-event reporting. The guide has been well received by business partners as well as civil society, positioning waste reduction as a competitive advantage rather than an obligation.

What the guide covers

• Step-by-step instructions for event planners: pre-event, during, and post-event waste management
• Catering supplier checklist for single-use plastic alternatives and reusable systems
• Waste station layout templates optimised for different event sizes
• Communication templates for telling attendees what they can do
• Case studies from Bulgarian events that have already adopted zero waste practices

How to engage

• Event organisers in Bulgaria: download the guide from Za Zemiata and share it with your catering and venue partners
• Businesses hosting corporate events: use the guide as a starting point for your sustainability commitments
• Municipalities planning public events: contact Za Zemiata for tailored support applying the guide to specific local contexts

Why it matters

Festivals and corporate gatherings generate concentrated waste in a single weekend. A practical guide lowers the barrier for organisers who want to do better, turning zero waste from a niche commitment into something any venue can plan for.
