Practical conditions for events and meetings

Electricity is a necessary part of an event. Preferably use eco-labeled electricity. If you use diesel generators, choose bio-diesel.

On Ellevio's website, you can find information about the possibility of making a temporary power grid connection to a fixed event cabinet.

Events generate waste, but always work to minimize the amount of waste and ensure opportunities for source separation and material recycling. 

All public outdoor gatherings and all events with serving areas with seating must offer source separation of packaging and food waste.
