Verification Services for Waste Reduction and Zero Waste Events

Are you looking to better understand your unique materials mix, set a baseline, or even pursue a Zero Waste event?

MeetGreen is excited to offer MeetGreen® Verified, a third-party verification and reporting service tailored specifically to waste and events. MeetGreen Verified offers an impartial, comprehensive and transparent approach to assessing and reporting the impacts of your distinct event waste.

Is your event working to reduce its waste footprint?

For better or worse, event waste is one of the most prominent metrics and indicators your planning, leadership or stakeholder teams closely considers when measuring the success of your sustainability efforts. It is also one of the most misunderstood by many show cleaning and waste hauling professionals. Event waste is a world entirely its own and very often, whatever goes into a production, exhibit hall or build, must come out.

MeetGreen® Verified in Action

MeetGreen Verified helps your teams take confidence in understanding its present state, through measuring to manage, identifying operational opportunities, and then building a bridge towards the future. Our teams use over 50 waste management best practice criteria to drive assessment, with events achieving 1-5 stars reflecting their progress. Verification levels indicate stars gained if your event:
