Ljubljana hotel sector: reuse in hospitality and events

From rooms to banquets: waste prevention in the tourism economy

Ekologi brez meja worked with the Ljubljana Tourism Board and city waste operator VOKA SNAGA over two years to bring waste prevention and reuse into the hotel and events sector. The partnership surfaces what the ZWE report calls a systemic gap: hospitality generates high volumes of single-use waste but rarely has a reuse infrastructure to switch to.

What the collaboration covers

• Shared reusable tableware systems for hotel events and catering
• Guidance for venues on reducing single-use room amenities
• Pilot reuse programmes for public and private events in Ljubljana

How to get involved

• If you organise or attend events in Ljubljana, ask venues whether they offer reusable alternatives
• Hotel guests can ask about refillable amenity dispensers instead of single-use toiletries
• Follow VOKA SNAGA for city-level waste prevention updates

Why it matters

Ljubljana hosts millions of visitors per year. Embedding reuse in the hospitality sector shifts waste prevention from individual choice to city-scale default.
