A report stated that on an average, music festivals generate 23,500 tonnes of waste, including plastic bottles, food containers, food waste, clothing and abandoned tents. A lot of us feel that only upto 20% of this waste could be recycled or diverted from going into landfills. Would you believe me if I said that my guest Divya & her team have successfully diverted upto 99% of waste from ending up in landfills from events of similar scale? If not, this episode is for you.

While individuals are striving to make their homes zero-waste starting by doing a waste audit and then finding suitable replacements for the disposables, large events and offices can replicate this model and achieve similar results. The mixed waste rotting in landfills are a huge contributor to the rising temperatures, and the simplest and most effective solution lies within each of us.
