Looking for ways to elevate your next event by making it as sustainable as possible? There are plenty of ways to do this, including:
- Swapping single-use products for reusable ones
- Sourcing items locally
- Replacing plastic with other options
If you want to host an event that people feel good about attending-without sacrificing any of the fun-Quench Buggy can help make your next event both memorable and sustainable.
Why Sustainability Matters
Before you begin making plans, it helps to understand the âwhyâ behind what youâre doing so you donât feel like youâre putting effort into something that doesnât really matter.
When it comes to sustainability, small choices add up to big change. Youâd be surprised at the impact of waste and water usage at events, especially large ones. Finding ways to make an event more sustainable can have a huge impact.
Planning a sustainable event has secondary benefits, too. It can help your reputation and enhance how your community sees you. Of course, this isnât the only reason you should make sustainable choices, but itâs good to know that making the right choice for the environment has a positive impact on your business or organization.
With more people looking to “go green” and placing increasing emphasis on supporting eco-friendly initiatives, it’s more beneficial than ever to be at the forefront of the green movement.
Easy Sustainable Swaps
The good news is that planning a sustainable event is easier than ever before. Here are some simple swaps that will make a big difference.
Tableware
You could choose reusable or compostable serviceware if youâll be serving food or beverages at your event. Or you can choose reusable items as a way to cut down on single-use plastics.
Locally Sourced Food
Working with caterers that use local, seasonal ingredients is another great option. Not only will the food you serve taste better, but it will also be less of a strain on the environment.Â
Digital Invites
Another way to make your event more sustainable occurs before the big day. Opt for digital over paper for marketing and advertising your event. If you intend to send invitations, do so digitally. And keep the digital theme going by using digital signage at your event.
Water Refill Station
Finally, featuring mobile water stations that allow guests to refill reusable water containers at the event lets you avoid single-use plastic water bottles and ensures that everyone stays hydrated while in attendance.
Benefits of Using Quench Buggy for Your Next Event
Working with a provider of refillable water stations is one of the best ways to enhance the sustainability of your next event because it eliminates the need for plastic water bottles. Single-use plastic water bottles are one of the most significant sources of waste at events.
While reusable plates and silverware are a great upgrade, most people only use a single set of tableware at an event. But water bottles? The average person will go through at least two or three, with some using many more.
Itâs easy to see why offering a sustainable option for water is one of the best ways to reduce your eventâs impact on the environment.
And best of all?
Refillable water stations encourage people to drink more water. Maybe some of the people attending your event are reluctant to drink water if itâs served in a plastic water bottle. They might be environmentally conscious and/or understand the risks that come with drinking from plastic.Â
By offering sustainable options, like a mobile refilling station, youâre increasing the likelihood that theyâll consume a healthy amount of water throughout the day. Plus, for many, refilling a reusable water bottle is a great way to take a break from the dayâs events. Many event organizers find that the water refilling stations become a hub of social activity and give event attendees a chance to mingle and network.
