Separate collection of audience waste at an event could increase the waste collected and then recycled from 40% to 70% (an increase of 30%). For a total of 480kg of waste produced, the benefit in terms of reduced CO2 emissions amounts to 105.2kg.
Printing 400 programmes is equivalent to 12kg of paper. Not printing the programme results in a benefit of 5,280 litres ofwater, 91kWh of energy consumption and 19.3kg of CO2. If all the audience digitally downloaded the programme, the energy consumption would be 4.55kWh of energy consumption and1.82kg of CO2. The net benefit would be 86.45kWh of energy consumption and 17.5kg of CO2.
