The mission of Trash Galore is to prepare the event industry for the Circular Economy. The goal is to become redundant in an ideal circular economy by closing material cycles and reducing waste and CO2 emissions. The company's values include authenticity, holism, and legal compliance. They rely on honest and transparent sustainability practices and expect a serious interest in sustainable transformation from their partners[2][3].
