Waste avoidance - Commitment to less waste
Waste avoidance is more than a declaration of intent for the AWM. For example, at the Oktoberfest, as for all Munich events on public grounds, the rule is: Returnable instead of disposable. The Munich concept for avoiding waste saw its 10th anniversary in 2005.
The AWM promotes environmentally friendly alternatives:
- Secondhand shop "Halle 2", a store for used goods from our recycling yards
- Online portal fpr flea markets in Munich: Münchner Flohmarktportal
- Shredding service for garden waste
- Composting service for large housing complexes
- Rental of mobile dishwashers and returnable tableware
- Ban of disposable crookery with events on public ground
The AWM helps with information – on paper and on the Internet:
- Repair guide for Munich and surrounding counties
- Second hand guide for Munich and surrounding counties
- Composting and shredding in the city
- Tips for making gift wrapping, envelopes and cards
