Zero Waste Initiative

The Lahore Biennale Foundation (LBF) is committed to fostering sustainable practices through its Zero Waste Initiative, aimed at reducing the environmental footprint of our projects and daily operations. As part of this commitment, we have implemented a comprehensive waste management system that emphasizes recycling, repurposing, and responsible disposal methods.

Waste Segregation & Processing

To ensure effective waste management, LBF has developed a structured approach to handling different types of waste:

• Organic Waste: Composted to enrich soil and support green spaces.
• Paper: Collected for recycling to minimize deforestation and waste.
• Plastic (Single-Use & PET): Converted into fibre and pellets for reuse in various industries.
• Styrofoam: Repurposed into glue to reduce its environmental impact.
• Glass: Sent for recycling to create new glass products.
• Sanitary Pads & Diapers: Typically destined for landfills, LBF is actively developing mitigation strategies in collaboration with its partners to incinerate these materials in a solid waste incinerator, ensuring minimal environmental harm and clean emissions.

A Collective Responsibility

The Zero Waste Initiative is an evolving effort that relies on collaboration between artists, visitors, and partners to make a meaningful impact. Through workshops, awareness campaigns, and sustainable material choices, we aim to integrate responsible waste management into the cultural landscape of Lahore.

By adopting these sustainable practices, LBF continues to reinforce its commitment to environmental consciousness, ensuring that art and ecology go hand in hand for a more sustainable future.
