Events

At Urban Impact, we believe that changing the way we deal with waste at festivals and events is a necessity.  Every tonne of paper diverted from landfills through recycling reduces your carbon footprint by 3 megatonnes. 

The enormous quantities of waste generated during festivals and events shortens the life of landfill sites.  Not only is there a great deal of waste generated, it is the most visible impact to festival attendees. For event organizers, taking steps to limit waste in the first place goes a long way in reducing litter, cost and the negative impacts that waste has on the environment. 

Urban Impact provides professional zero-waste event services for large events and festivalin Metro Vancouver. These services include working with event and festival planners, working with vendors,  providing recycling srvices during the event, and reporting. We are always looking to help events and festival organizers reach our zero-waste goals. 

Urban Impact invested in designing Zero Waste Stations for events and festivals as our way of developing sustainable waste management solutions and giving back to our communities.  We have worked with events from as small as a few hundred attendees to events with over 100,000 attendees such as the Rio Tnto Alcan Dragon Boat Festival and the Steveston Salmon Festival.

Throughout 2012, Urban Impact is committed to encouraging and publicizing waste wise practices.  We are concentrating on creating positive outcomes at festivals and events by keeping recycling simple. For us, supporting fully zero waste events and festivals is considered a strategic priority.

By sponsoring Festivals and Festivals, we can leverage our waste management skills and our Zero Waste Stations to help them divert as much waste as possible from the landfill.
