The communities of Mamer and Kehlen had jointly invited their local associations to an information meeting on the subject of “Green Events” on the one hand, and the new waste law on the other, which also had repercussions on the organization of public events due to various new obligations.
A member of staff from Oekozenter Pafendall presented the Ministry of the Environment, Climate and Biodiversity’s “Green Events” project and explained the new legal provisions for waste management at public events, which will come into force on January 1, 2025.
The aim is to promote a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly approach to organizing local events, for example by avoiding disposable packaging and crockery wherever possible, offering more local, regional and organic food and drink, and introducing waste sorting.
The Oekozenter Pafendall and the SuperDrécksKëscht are responsible for assisting associations wishing to embark on the path of “Green Events” in all their endeavors, and if the conditions are met, the association in question can apply for a one-off grant of 1,500 euros from the Ministry.
