This is amazing!! Well done Party Kit Network and all the party kits who contributed to this awesome total!
I look forward to contributing to the total for next year! Reusasable party kits are such a brilliant idea! I hired a kit for my daughters 6th birthday this year and I loved how colourful it looked, was so impressed with the quality of the partyware and most of all I was amazed at how little I put in the bin!! Previous years I would have had a couple of bin bags of single use items but after her party this year we were putting scraps of left over food in the bin and that was it!!
This inspired me to set up Party Box Southampton and hope that I'll be able to help with Party Kit Network's vision of making parties more sustainable and reducing the amount of waste going to landfill ππππ
Updated total! π£β¦ 77,240 and counting! π₯³
Each year we count up the number of single-use items avoided through hires of our membersβ party kits.
Despite many kits being closed for all or part of the last year we have still managed to log over 77k items so far.
Thatβs 77,240 plates, cups, bowls and cutlery that were NOT thrown away because people switched to reusables. ππ
Isnβt that amazing?! π€©
The party kit concept is still fairly new and reusable tableware is not yet the norm, but this just shows our potential to reduce waste. So weβre keeping the faith and looking forward to smashing that total in 2022.
