Sustainability at the Heart of the Event
RI VegFest isn’t just about good food—it’s about good practices. Partnering with local compost processor and eco-friendly wares producer World Centric, the festival aims to minimize waste, diverting 95% of event trash from landfills.
“Events of this size can generate a surprising amount of waste, and we’re focused on making our events as sustainable as possible,” said Dionne. “At our previous events, composting has helped us reduce our landfill waste by an incredible 95%. We are on track to do the same in February.”
