A cost-benefit analysis comparing HGAF outsourcing or purchasing zero waste resources and supplies
A position description for the Zero Waste Hero team leader and volunteers
Training resources for Zero Waste Hero’s
A list and pricing of zero waste audience consumables which could be marketed at the festival

Objectives:

To create a festival culture of ‘bring it in – take it home’ or recycle
To ensure Zero Waste Hero’s know and understand the principles and practices of Zero Waste
To achieve the same (or better) waste results than the 2020 festival

Approaches:

To achieve the goals by considering some of the following approaches (but certainly not limited to):

Review and refresh the current HGAF zero waste plan
Internet search low cost products and consumables
Liaise with Para Kura and other Hamilton/Waikato waste management providers
Review the reports and learning from the 2020 festival
Liaise with Hamilton Gardens and Hamilton City Council to review their zero waste plans
Consider the impact of the Gourmet in the Gardens silver service on zero waste and how it could be achieved in the future
Liaise with the HGAF media and marketing team to incorporate zero waste in all of our marketing

Constraints:

The cost to HGAF for the 2021 festival should not exceed last year’s spend
Any recommended waste hardware should have a 3-5 year life span
Implementation of the HGAF zero waste plan should not require full-time resource
The HGAF Zero Waste plan should meet the Health and Safety Standards of NZ.
