Commitment to Sustainability in Events
In a world increasingly aware of environmental impact, the demand for sustainable events has grown significantly. Couples and companies are looking for responsible options that reflect their commitment to the environment without compromising the elegance and quality of their celebrations. At Casa Ylang Ylang, we have taken a comprehensive approach to offering sustainable celebrations that combine style and ecological responsibility.
1. Eco-Friendly Decor: Natural Beauty with Low Environmental Impact
One of the most effective ways to make an event sustainable is through eco-friendly decor. Casa Ylang Ylang takes advantage of its lush natural surroundings to reduce the use of non-biodegradable materials and disposable decorations.
Sustainable Decor Options:
• Local and seasonal flowers: We avoid imported flowers and opt for species grown in the region, reducing the carbon footprint.
• Reusable elements: We incorporate vintage furniture, wooden arches and recycled textiles to create unique environments.
• Solar lighting and eco-friendly candles: We use LED lights and candles made from natural wax to reduce energy consumption.
• Living arrangements: Instead of cut flowers, we offer potted plants that guests can take home as a souvenir, encouraging urban reforestation.
2. Responsible Catering: Healthy and Conscious Menus
Sustainable catering is essential at an eco-friendly event. At Casa Ylang Ylang, we collaborate with suppliers who prioritize local, organic, and fair trade ingredients, minimizing waste and reducing environmental impact.
Ideas for sustainable catering:
• Plant-based menus: We offer vegan and vegetarian options, reducing the carbon footprint associated with meat production.
• Locally traded ingredients: We select fresh produce from nearby farmers and suppliers to support the local economy.
• Zero Waste: We opt for food stations instead of served plates to minimize waste, using reusable or biodegradable tableware.
• Responsible Beverages: We incorporate organic wines, cocktails with seasonal fruits, and filtered water stations, eliminating the use of plastic bottles.
3. Eco-Friendly Invitations and Favors
Invitations and event favors can also contribute to a more sustainable approach. At Casa Ylang Ylang we promote digital alternatives and responsible gifts.
Tips for invitations and favors:
• Digital Invitations: We eliminate paper and opt for personalized electronic invitations.
• Recycled Stationery: If physical invitations are used, we use recycled paper or plantable seeds.
• Eco-Friendly Favors: We offer sustainable souvenirs, such as essential oil bottles or Ylang Ylang handmade soaps.
4. Waste Reduction and Recycling
A green event should incorporate waste management practices to minimize its impact. At Casa Ylang Ylang we follow an efficient recycling system and work with suppliers who share our environmental values.
Sustainable Waste Management Practices:
• Recycling Stations: We place selective collection points at the event to facilitate waste recycling.
• Composting: Food scraps are composted, avoiding waste.
• Reusable Decoration and Equipment: We avoid disposable items, reusing furniture and accessories at multiple events.
5. Sustainable Transportation for Guests
Transportation is another key aspect of event sustainability. Casa Ylang Ylang offers solutions to minimize carbon emissions generated by attendees' travel.
Green Transportation Options:
• Carpooling: We organize shared transportation services to reduce the number of vehicles.
• Bike Stations: We promote the use of bicycles for local guests.
• Electric Cars: We offer agreements with green transportation companies.
6. Ecological Certification and Transparency
To ensure that each celebration meets the highest sustainability standards, at Casa Ylang Ylang we follow certified and transparent practices.
Green Commitments:
• Certified Suppliers: We only work with companies that have sustainability seals.
• Impact Measurement: We offer our clients a report on the environmental impact of the event and suggestions to offset it, such as planting trees.
