Food Waste Reduction

Find out how Disney Meetings & Events handles the uneaten and leftover food from meetings and events—keeping food waste out of landfills:

• Unserved prepared food is collected by the Disney Harvest Program and distributed to local, in-need communities through Second Harvest Food Bank.
• Kitchen scraps, leftover Guest meals and other food waste are delivered to a commercial composting facility, where they are converted into nutrient-rich soil.

Innovative Use of Eco-Friendly Materials

Learn how Disney Meetings & Events uses sustainable materials to reduce environmental impact:

• Plastic cup usage is minimized by providing water stations with alternative or reusable cup options, including water to-go cups and bottles.
• Bulk amenities and bulk condiments are offered.
• Reusable glassware, silverware and china are available, upon client request.

Also, we employ innovative solutions—giving materials a second life rather than adding to landfills. For example, at Walt Disney World Resort, glass materials are pulverized into fine sand for use in scenic horse trails at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground.

Emission-Reduction Efforts

Examine the ways Disney meeting venues are designed for efficiency, including the use of operational systems to reduce emissions:

• Air handler units and HVAC systems are programmed to align with event schedules.
• Lighting is managed through pre-programmed controls and sensors to optimize usage.
• Ongoing LED lighting retrofits throughout the theme parks and Resorts further reduce electricity consumption.
