At the recent CGCSA 2024 Summit, Focus Rooms partnered with Urban Surfer, a trailblazer in sustainable waste management, to take event recycling to a whole new level! Together, they boosted recycling from a humble 15% to an impressive 85% of all event waste, showcasing just how far sustainable practices can go with the right partners.
The Power of Micro Reclaimers
How did they do it? Through Urban Surfer’s game-changing waste approach: using micro reclaimers to sort, process, and recycle waste on-site. This unique method not only cuts down on landfill waste but also supports local communities, demonstrating Focus Rooms’ commitment to hosting environmentally responsible events that leave a positive impact.
Supporting CGCSA’s Green Goals
This collaboration was a perfect match for CGCSA’s new CGCSA PRO (Professional Reclaimers Outreach) initiative, which aims to empower reclaimers and promote a cleaner, greener waste ecosystem. Matlou Setati, the head of CGCSA PRO, couldn’t have been happier with the results, saying, “By increasing recycling rates so dramatically, we’re not just reducing waste—we’re setting an example for the entire industry.” This push towards a circular economy shows how CGCSA is taking active steps to create a more sustainable future.
Urban Surfer’s Mission for a Sustainable Future
For Urban Surfer, this partnership is yet another step in their mission to drive real change through innovative waste solutions. Their collaboration with Focus Rooms and CGCSA proves that powerful results come from teamwork, shared values, and a strong commitment to sustainability.
Leading the Way in Sustainable Events
Together, Urban Surfer, Focus Rooms, and CGCSA are showing that when businesses commit to environmental stewardship, great things can happen. This summit wasn’t just about industry discussions; it was a powerful reminder that we can all take steps toward a greener tomorrow—one reclaimed can and bottle at a time.
