‘Packaging negative’ means your venue removes more packaging from the environment than it uses.
You have refillable and reusable systems in place, don’t use single-use packaging (coffee cups, bottles, cups, sachets etc) and litter pick to remove litter from the local area. If you use some single-use packaging, to be ‘packaging negative’ you must remove more litter from nature than you use as a venue.
Take responsibility for your business’s environmental footprint. Set the ambitious goal to be a ‘packaging negative’ business:
