Last week Eco Party Box donated a carton of our bamboo pulp 20oz bowls to local food stall Street Food for the inaugural Aldinga Arts Eco Village Colour Festival.

The brilliant festival attracted around 600 people and the bowls were used for yummy curries.

The event was put together quickly with the goal of it being a zero waste event.

Appropriately labelled bins were positioned on the day and wheeled away when full. Money was collected from the recycling, general waste was disposed of properly and the compostable plates, bowls, cups and cutlery were converted to compost at Peats Soil in Willunga. All 7 and 1/2 240L bags of compostable waste.

Our donation went to help a family’s fund raising – they’re father suffering motor neuron disease, with the monies raised going towards travel expenses to create memories. The whole community have come together for this cause and it has been a beautiful thing to behold.

We plan on donating again when the next festival is held in July.
