Our purpose is to build businesses and enrich lives through powerful event experiences. The success of Waste Expo Australia 2024 is a testament to what can be achieved when sustainability is embedded into every aspect of an event, and treated as a responsibility versus just a business “goal”. We committed to an ambitious mission for 2024: “Journey to Net Zero Waste.” This commitment was not just about incremental improvements but about setting a new standard for sustainable events. It required us to rethink our practices, collaborate, and transform the way Waste Expo operated—from its planning stages to move-out.
