Greenbox Events Ltd
Waste Reduction specialist
I liaise with Traders, Crew and the event organisers to explain and feedback on waste recycling and reduction initiatives.
I book waste routes and help managers to plan operations.
My focus is on reduction of single use packaging
And on food waste separation because without it all the other recycling is contaminated.
My experience is drawn from 18-25 seasons experience as a waste manager and outdoor event crew member
