Wastebusters, in partnership with Lake Wānaka Tourism and Queenstown Lakes District Council, is hosting an accommodation industry kōrero to help drive environmental action through waste reduction.

Accommodation providers, from hotels to private Airbnb owners, are invited to join industry peers and leading zero waste experts next Tuesday (June 17) over drinks and nibbles.

There will be connection, practical insights and advice that will help take waste minimisation goals to the next level, Wastebusters business manager Sophie Ward said.

“Whether you’re just starting your journey or looking to sharpen your current waste minimisation strategies, this is your chance to collaborate, learn, and be inspired by others who are equally committed to a more sustainable future,” Sophie said. 

“Making a start can be the hardest part but once you realise you’re not alone and everyone’s wanting to make changes, you start to see the things that can be done that will make a real difference.”

The session is designed to help accommodation providers learn from industry leaders and local success stories; gain actionable tips to reduce waste in their operations; collaborate with like-minded businesses; and be inspired to drive change in their workplaces.

One attending business will win a waste minimisation plan, created by Wastebusters, to suit their operations, challenges and goals.

The zero waste korero for accommodation providers will take place on Tuesday June 17, 12pm-1.30pm, at the Wānaka Community Hub.

Register for the free event at Humantix.

The session is supported by Queenstown Lakes District Council’s Zero Waste District Programme.
