A minimum waste wedding to remember, wedding of Aditi and Adithya at Yelahanka Satellite town in Bengaluru.
Parents of Aditi, Renuka and Kanchi Gopinath have been in the network of like minded people working in solid waste management.
They planned all the activities, tasks to ensure a minimum and well segregated waste generated during the wedding. They called us
almost three months ago. We shared the best practices to host a zero waste event with them. They followed most of it to the dot and went
beyond that to arrange for 1000 hand kerchiefs to avoid tissues to wipe hands.
1700 meals
450kg of kitchen waste and flowers
Only 10kg of dry waste - table top papers and oil and milk packets
Almost 10000 single use disposables avoided
The secret to a successful environment friendly wedding is
1. Deep discussions with a good caterer
2. Deep discussions with a good decorator
3. Deep discussions between bride and bride groom family
4. Seek help from like minded friends and relatives
5. Hire a set of people connect with cleaning staff to make it happen
6. Find destination for each stream of waste
SWMRT team joined hands to document the eco friendly wedding and continue to share best practices on its website to encourage many more young brides and bridegrooms.
