Description
Summary:Food festivals are major tourist attraction that creates unique social settings in which consumers can taste, experience, and learn about diverse cuisines and cultures. While these festivals drive tourism in their host communities, they can also have a lingering negative environmental impact.

Discarded food packaging is a major contributor to waste in a food festival setting, and finding a waste management solution for short-term events can be a challenge for festival planners.
