BS8901…a new standard for sustainable events

The British standards institute has launched BS8901, which sets out the requirements for planning and managing a sustainable event.

Gatherings such as festivals and sporting events enrich our cultural life, though can have negative environmental impacts due to the amount of waste. There are many steps which organizers can take to minimize this, and we at Vegware see it as very positive that event organizers are being asked to plan for this from the outset.
