How to Host a Zero Waste Gathering

Sustainable Entertaining Without Sacrificing Style

We all love to entertain during summer—whether it’s backyard BBQs, sunset picnics, or festive long lunches. But traditional entertaining often leaves behind a trail of disposable plates, plastic cups, and food waste. In fact, celebrations are one of the biggest contributors to holiday-season landfill.

So how do we gather our loved ones without the guilt?

With just a few smart swaps, zero waste entertaining becomes second nature. Here’s how to do it with ease, style and sustainability.

1. Ditch Disposables for Reusables

Opt for reusables that are light, stylish, and built to last. We love:

Porter Green’s unbreakable silicone tumblers and wine glasses—chic, colourful, and perfect for outdoor sipping.
Put a Lid on It's 100% recycled bowl and platter sets—made from salvaged plastics right here in Sydney.
Ever Eco’s food-grade stainless steel cups and containers—great for both kids and adults, and perfect for picnics, camping and more.

2. Minimise Food Waste

Plan portions mindfully and embrace leftovers with reusable containers and beeswax wraps. Bonus: you’ll save money and reduce your footprint.

3. Say Goodbye to Cling Wrap

Swap cling wrap for reusable covers, wraps or stackable containers. They’re safer, more stylish, and far better for the planet.

4. Make Sustainability Beautiful

Who says eco can’t be elegant? Today’s reusable entertaining products come in stunning colours and sleek designs—proving that you don’t need plastic to make an impression.
