Tips To Make Your Event More Eco-Friendly at SILO Brussels
It may be no surprise that events, from small to large-scale gatherings, are often huge waste generators. But it doesn't have to be that way. The hospitality industry is getting greener! As a landmark eco-friendly event venue in Brussels, we've implemented several measures that have turned our unique space into a fully green venue.
Identify Your Target Areas and Define Set Goals
Don't make sustainability goals an afterthought. There are many ways to go green, depending on your sustainability goals and where you hope to improve. Ask yourself:
Selecting a Venue
Selecting the location of your event is crucial. It's one of the most important choices you can make during eco-conscious event planning. SILO Brussels is the perfect match — as we live and breathe sustainability.
Choosing sustainable partners
Like with venues, find companies that align with your values and offer sustainable options. Local suppliers are a top choice because there's less travel and fewer emissions. Our teams are highly selective about picking providers. We work exclusively with partners committed to sustainability, including eco-responsible caterers who prioritize local and seasonal products.
Minimise food waste and promote recycling
While excess food and overcatering may be a reality, it shouldn't have to go to waste. We've partnered with Alpaca Solutions, an association specializing in sustainable solutions. We actively promote recycling with waste sorting bins throughout our venue. We're also working towards eliminating single-use plastics.
Sustainable transportation
SILO Brussels is easily reachable by boat, public transport, or bike, offering eco-friendly options to make your arrival smooth and enjoyable.
Save Water
Events can use a surprising amount of water. We're committed to water conservation — we flush our toilets with spring water and use other water conservation strategies at SILO Brussels!
