Bio-degradable Standards
The Friends of Hove Lagoon wish to make the event as environmentally sustainable as possible. We will be doing our part in this by providing clearly marked recycling facilities alongside general waste, and by encouraging audiences to use them. However, caterers can make the single biggest impact in this area for an event, and so we are implementing the following rules.
Polystyrene
There will be no use of polystyrene in products that are used by customers. If bringing polystyrene on site for other purposes is unavoidable (i.e., within refrigeration containers) the caterer must take it away with them and dispose of it themselves.
Plastic
The amount of plastic in use will be strictly limited in catering and should be minimised in terms of plastic bags used for non-catering goods. Drinks sold in plastic bottles are acceptable if it is recyclable plastic.
The exception to limiting plastic is plastic glasses. Glasses returned to caterer and washed are ideal, however plastic glasses are the recommended disposable alternative. (The reason for this is corn starch glasses tend to be disposed of wrongly by the public and contaminate plastics recycling, and they do not make good compostable items either so can only go to landfill). Any stock containers that are plastic must be carefully sorted and recycled, not dumped in general waste.
We will be advertising on our Facebook page to encourage the public to bring reusable bags for their purchases.
Biodegradable Products (most relevant to caterers) – Any disposable items given to customers should meet BSI biodegradability standard BS EN 13432:2000. We imagine most traders will be working towards these standards anyway as festivals and local authorities alike are adopting them more and more frequently.
These guidelines form an integral part of our Traders and Caterers Terms and Conditions. If they pose any issues for you, please contact us early to discuss possible solutions friendsofhovelagoon@gmail.com
