While hosting a party at your home can sometimes look like a mess, not only do you have to clean up after the party, but you also have to deal with all the disposable plastic waste that does no good to the environment. However, there are ways to keep your waste to a minimum and host an environmentally friendly party.

 

Check out these helpful tips to host a low-waste party at your home!

 

 

Use Eco-Friendly Products and Decorations

If you’re hosting an outdoor party, use paper and plant-based products instead of the nonbiodegradable disposable ones. Use recyclable food containers and plates like the ones made from starch or silicone.

 

If you’re planning on having a cozy indoor party, make your decorations zero waste. You can do this by putting up reusable paper products, upcycling, reusing, or recycling all your household items.

 

 

Make it a BYOP (Bring Your Own Plate) Party

Let your guests bring the food they’re most comfortable with – whether that be vegan/vegetarian, gluten-free, or lactose intolerant. Make sure you let them know about the BYOP theme well in advance so that your guests have time to prepare their own meal before coming over for the party!

 

This way, there won’t be leftovers, and everyone can eat what they enjoy.

Use Reusable Bags and Containers

If you’re going to be giving out free food, make sure you provide reusable bags for your guests. It’ll be a good move if you ask guests to bring their own containers; this way, they can avoid disposables. Also, make sure that your guests use eco-friendly spoons and forks for their meals, as these are much more efficient than disposables!

 

If you’re using disposable tableware, make sure that it’s environmentally friendly and biodegradable, like plant-based cutlery.

Compost Garbage Properly

After the food is cleaned up and every guest has left your house, make sure that all food waste is properly composted and not just thrown in the trash can. Use a compost bin, and make sure to include at least two inches of organic material at the bottom. Also, you don’t have to wait for a rainy day – instead, just put all your food waste away in the garden and have it ready to be composted in the afternoon.
