Getting to Zero: Innovations in Waste Management
Tuesday, December 10, 2024, 5:30pm-7:00pm
What happens to waste after it leaves the studio lot? How are productions practicing responsible waste management, where can we improve, and where can we avoid waste from the start? Join us to learn more about effective waste management practices on set, including how to set up effective waste stations and what to look for in a waste hauler. This workshop will illuminate the many benefits of sustainable sourcing in striving toward a circular economy and promoting a zero waste set.
Moderator: Shira J. Gans, Senior Executive Director, Policy + Programs, Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment
