Humorous shirts against the flood of garbage: MA48 rocks Vienna's events!
Festivals and concerts in Vienna are not just about good music and a great atmosphere - waste disposal is also an important point that often remains in the background. MA48, the municipal waste management company, ensures that everything stays clean and has come up with something very special for this. How meinkreis.at reports, the department has created new uniforms with fun prints that are intended to encourage visitors to think about waste prevention. Well-known puns such as “Mülley Cyrus” or “Pfandua Lipa” appear on the shirts, and department head Josef Thon explains that humor and hard work go hand in hand here.
In order to get the mountains of rubbish at large events under control, MA48 is implementing numerous measures. Every major event at the Ernst Happel Stadium generates over a ton of residual waste and almost 100 kilograms of cardboard. Around 300 waste containers of various sizes are used here to ensure orderly waste separation. With the foresight, the company also relies on vehicles such as sweepers, washing carts and urinal containers, which are used to keep the event clean.
Waste management and sustainability
The legal requirements in Vienna also show how well waste management can be managed. Events with more than 1,000 people must offer reusable systems in the catering industry. Loud ökoevent.at The creation of a waste concept is even required if more than 2,000 visitors are expected. Special measures to avoid waste are recommended in order to keep costs for collection and disposal low. Effective waste management becomes important not only for the environment, but also for the organizers' finances.
For highly frequented events, other aspects must also be taken into account. Separate collection containers for different waste fractions are important - this includes residual waste, paper, glass and even leftover food. The better the waste separation, the less is billed as residual waste. MA48 supports this by providing free containers for certain waste materials when residual waste containers are ordered.
Support and advice
MA48 is not only responsible for disposal, but also for clean areas after the event. Organizers can take advantage of various services, including toilet trailers and dish mobiles. The hotline for events on 01 4000 483 32 offers quick support. The advice center also helps sustainable-event-solutions.de to plan and implement low-waste events. For waste-intensive events, intermediate emptying should also be planned to ensure that things run smoothly.
Overall, it is clear that awareness of waste avoidance at events is more important than ever. Vienna is committed to promoting a clean and sustainable event culture, and MA48 offers the necessary support to ensure that every event is not only a hit for visitors, but also for the environment.
