Auckland’s Spark Arena has switched to 100% compostable serve ware for public events. This week, the venue is implementing stage one of its Zero Waste Strategy, replacing all single-use cups and hot food packaging with carefully sourced plant-based alternatives. Compostable waste, which now includes cups, lids, straws, cutlery, napkins, food boxes as well as food waste, will be delivered directly to specialist local composting plant Envirofert, where it will be transformed into quality compost in just three months.
"As well as claiming the record of being the fastest selling tour of 2013 at Vector Arena, The Mrs Carter Show World Tour starring Beyonce, presented by Live Nation, has set a new record for the highest audience attendance at Vector Arena by a solo artist attracting 44,596 ticket buying fans from around New Zealand across the four nights."
