In India, families invest a lot in planning lavish weddings. It is estimated that more than 10 million weddings take place in the country every year and all of these celebrations leave behind truckloads of trash in the form of discarded plastic cutlery, used flowers and a large amount of food, etc.
Add to it the other waste related to weddings like the wedding cards, return gifts and unwanted wedding gifts. Wedding curators Aaradhana & Prateek Kashyap of Made in Heaven lists down some tips for a Zero Waste Wedding:
The pandemic has made hybrid weddings, the norm of the day. It’s safe, can be low on cost and make it a very intimate and personal celebration. Having the guest count to a minimum, you can stay long enough and have an elaborate wedding. A small guest list will also help to better plan catering, favours, and décor, as well as implement low-waste solutions that may not be possible with a larger wedding party.
This will help avoid the gensets and the electricity load at the venue. Choose a venue with an open lawn and natural beauty and shade with flowers and trees aplenty. If the venue is naturally attractive, you can avoid decoration waste.
